Mr. Speaker, it is very difficult to take that seriously.
On a different topic, it is clear that the federal government intends to impose its conditions on Quebec with respect to the child care program.
Yesterday, Quebec's Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs stated that “The use of the federal spending power is a threat. The fiscal imbalance is a threat. And now, there is a third threat: the concept of national interest”.
In support of the true national interest, will the Prime Minister respect Quebec's jurisdiction over child care, no strings attached?
