Mr. Speaker, I listened carefully to the minister's comments. Indeed, the ideas are there, but so is the inadequacy of the means used.
Recently, I talked to people from the clothing and textile industries. They told me about CANtex, the most recent initiative proposed by the government.
In terms of the money invested, they told me that the program was much too cumbersome to operate smoothly. These people need time to diversify. They often cannot make several investments at once. They must do them in sequence.
This has the effect of dragging the transition or modernization period, and we are told that, for all intents and purposes, this program is inadequate. We are talking about $50 million over five years. So, we are looking at what this could mean for Quebec. It is a company from my region which says that this amount is insufficient and that the program is too cumbersome.
