Mr. Speaker, I have another question for the Prime Minister.
The government has denied the premier of Quebec, the host province for the summit, a speaking role at the summit of the Americas. At the same time the government has offered to any corporation prepared to spend $500,000 what the government's own document describes as “a potential speaking opportunity during the world leaders' welcome reception”.
How can the government justify that double standard? If the premier of Quebec were a company would he be able to buy his way in?
