Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Human Resources Development is about to announce consultations regarding the creation of a new program for children.
Quebec immediately expressed reservations about what appears to be a new intrusion into its areas of jurisdiction.
Will the Deputy Prime Minister pledge to either transfer the tax points or, in light of the provisions included in the social union framework agreement, give Quebec the right to opt out, with full financial compensation, of any new program that might be created following the government's consultations?
