Mr. Speaker, once again, the Government of Canada has not gone beyond its jurisdiction but has assumed its responsibilities very successfully. I invite the hon. member to come and see what the government has done in my town of Saint-Laurent. If this municipality is an economic mainstay for Quebec and the rest of Canada, it is largely due to what the Government of Canada did within its jurisdiction.
In the House of Commons on September 18th, 2003. See this statement in context.
