Mr. Speaker, the last time I asked the Minister of Industry to listen to the people in northern Ontario and grant FedNor independent agency status, he said that my constituents and I should be pleased even if the Queen of Sheba becomes the director of FedNor. The Queen of Sheba does not come from northern Ontario.
That is why I reject his proposal and I am again asking the minister whether he will finally grant FedNor the same status as the other economic development agencies.
