Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday, the government of Quebec introduced its bill on the Observatoire québécois de la mondialisation.
The observatory, with a board of directors representing all communities, will serve to explain the phenomenon of globalization in all its forms. It will provide the Quebec nation with reliable information enabling it to grasp the issues, assess their consequences and act in a balanced manner to promote controlled globalization that takes human rights into account.
The federal government would do well to emulate the openness and transparency of the government of Quebec in the matter of globalization.
This bill will be at the heart of public consultations, which will take place at the end of August.
The Bloc Quebecois, which advocates globalization with a human face, would like to congratulate Minister Louise Beaudoin on this initiative and wishes long life to the Observatoire québécois de la mondialisation.
