Mr. Speaker, the media in English Canada are getting involved in the debate on the sale of Rona and telling the government not to take action.
Rona employs 23,000 people in Quebec, including 1,000 at the head office in Boucherville, in my riding. Rona makes two billion dollars' worth of purchases from Quebec suppliers.
Former Liberal minister Monique Jérôme-Forget, from the Task Force on the Protection of Québec Businesses, has said that head offices are economic drivers.
Will the minister commit to protecting our jobs?
