Mr. Speaker, I thank the minister for the question. I absolutely agree. What we have heard coming out of the G20 and the G7 is that Canada is a role model in terms of its banking and financial systems. Where we are weak compared to other countries is in the regulatory system on our securities market. It could make a huge difference to average investors, whether they are in Quebec, Manitoba, Ontario, British Columbia or the territories.
We need those protections that a national securities commission would allow us. What the minister has put forward is that we are looking for partners to join us. We are not forcing it down anybody's throat, but I can say that the investors and corporations in Quebec will want to be part of this organization.
