Mr. Speaker, yesterday the minister said he had not had the time to read the letter. So we will read him a passage from it, which says:
We propose to you that you identify a government negotiator to represent the federal government, one who is not associated with the Foundation.
Where does the minister see in the letter it stated that the federal negotiator cannot be an elected representative, such as himself, and why would he not agree to be this negotiator, as the president of the Fédération des étudiants universitaires du Québec asked him yesterday?
