Mr. Speaker, mourning will take time, but the very courageous people of Lac-Mégantic are ready to rebuild.
Business people will be part of the solution, but many of them are struggling right now because the town's commercial core was decimated by the tragedy.
Will the Minister of the Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Quebec listen to the chamber of commerce and business people in the Mégantic region and set up a special funding program to help businesses get back on their feet, in addition to the decontamination and reconstruction budget that has already been announced?
