Mr. Speaker, this evening we will be debating federal funding for the lower Churchill project. The Conservatives, the Liberals and even NDP members from Quebec are ignoring Quebec's two unanimous motions condemning the funding. They are allowing Ottawa to use Quebeckers' money to support a project that will compete directly with Hydro-Québec, a government entity that the Quebec nation built and paid for itself.
Will the government take this opportunity, a few hours before the debate, to finally show respect for Quebec and agree not to fund this unfair project?
