Mr. Speaker, after abandoning the Quebec forestry industry and going after seasonal workers in all regions, the Conservatives are now targeting one of Quebec's areas of expertise, the aluminum industry. By changing the structure and role of the Aluminum Technology Centre, or the ATC, the federal government is hindering SMEs in this industry of the future. These businesses need this important development and innovation tool.
Will the minister put an end to the harmful uncertainty surrounding the ATC and immediately meet with the stakeholders who want to meet with him?
