Mr. Speaker, I have noted what my hon. friend just said. I would simply like to tell him that it may be true that Quebec has not signed, but as far as I know, Ontario has not signed either. And yet Ontario benefits from it. I think that it is important that there be some equity among Canada's regions.
If, out of the $600 million border infrastructure fund, $300 million has already been allocated to Windsor, it seems to me that Quebec ought to have its share as well. That is what we are saying.
We need $90 million of the $600 million in this fund in order to complete our highway. We believe we are eligible for this program. We believe that the government should make an effort to improve the quality of life in the Upper Richelieu, to improve economic development and safety. I am still asking the federal government to do its part. Quebec is ready now; its 50% share is on the table. Now we are waiting for Ottawa.
