Mr. Speaker, the Government of Quebec is working on a parental insurance plan, which has received widespread support from all quarters in Quebec. Quebec is claiming its share of the $300 million that the federal government wants to invest in a similar, Canada-wide program. The Minister of Human Resources Development left the door open to an agreement in this regard.
Could the minister tell us when she intends to grant the Government of Quebec's request, so that Quebec can go ahead with its plan for 2001?
