Mr. Speaker, the process that has been followed for the premier of Quebec is the same process that we follow for all the summits that we have, including the one by the Conservatives when the leader of the fifth party was the Minister of Foreign Affairs. When the Conservative government had the summit in Toronto it did not invite the premier of Ontario to make a speech to the leaders.
