Mr. Speaker, as the hon. member knows, the federal government is always willing to move forward but it was the Quebec government that rejected the federal framework that already existed. If it were truly interested in moving forward a lot more quickly it would have accepted the existing federal regulatory framework. It rejected that. As a result, we could not move forward.
If the Quebec government would have focused more on economic development instead of being focused on its separatist agenda, a lot more jobs would have been created in Quebec.
