Mr. Speaker, no one is buying her story.
The government continues to abandon the provinces and increase the opportunities to do so. We just saw that with the environment and with child care.
Yesterday, in response to a request from Quebec for the right to opt out with compensation from child care, the Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development uttered more empty words by telling Quebec she would provide a reply. When will she provide that reply? It smacks of improvisation and total abandonment. To me it looks as if this minister is also abandoning the provinces.
