Mr. Speaker, perhaps the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs will reply, unless the Deputy Prime Minister is going to bat for him.
I would like him to tell me the specific WTO regulation or section that prevents a provincial government from sitting on the Canadian delegation.
Will the Deputy Prime Minister not admit that this was a decision taken by the federal government, and that the truth is that it is the federal government that is preventing the provinces, including Quebec, from sitting on the delegation and not the WTO?
