Mr. Speaker, I listened to my colleague outline the conditions imposed on Boeing, the 30% of spinoffs, etc. I am very shocked that, as a member from Quebec, he was not upset by the fact that there was no obligation to respect the distribution throughout Canada. Currently, more than 60% of aerospace benefits are in Quebec, and Boeing's main subcontractors, and the main people with whom it has contracts are outside of Quebec. Does the member not know that the federal government, which is giving out $9 billion in contracts, could have set a condition that the current distribution be respected for Quebec? As a member from Quebec, will he stand in this House and vote in favour of the Bloc Québécois motion when the time comes?
In the House of Commons on March 1st, 2007. See this statement in context.
