Mr. Speaker, the science centres network came to the Hill on Monday to ask for recurring funding for, among other things, the exhibits at the 43 existing science interpretation centres in Canada.
In Quebec, we are still urging the federal government for funding in order to create such a centre.
Can the Minister of the Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Quebec assure us that the federal government is ready to provide funding for Quebec City's Boîte à science project, in order to contribute to the first stage in the development of such a centre?
