Mr. Speaker, I remind the House that we entered into negotiations with the Government of Quebec on this issue in 1997. Indeed they left the table. We felt we had made a fair offer and they chose to leave the table. That offer is still on the table.
As for our responsibilities and interests now, we indicated in the Speech from the Throne that we are going to focus on parental benefits, to expand them and make them more accessible and flexible. That is where my attention is turned.
