Mr. Speaker, I listened carefully to my colleague from the Bloc Québécois.
I was a stockbroker for 12 years and a branch manager and I can say that one of the frustrations of the business for retail clients and companies was their inability to deal with provinces without an incredible amount of difficulty.
I just do not buy the argument that this is in the best interests of the people of the province of Quebec because, frankly, it is not. They are investors like anybody else. They own companies like anybody else. They want to deal with the rest of the Canada like anybody else.
I put it to my colleague that, in my view, this is more about protecting turf than it is about actually serving the interests of investors and companies.
