Mr. Speaker, the solution my friend is proposing would only shift the problem elsewhere. There is no magic solution here.
Serious solutions are needed. Last week, I met with my Quebec counterpart to discuss both a solution and the federal government's role in supporting the Quebec government's efforts.
Meanwhile, our government is continuing its work to modernize the agreement with the United States.
This is a serious situation. We are going to continue to treat it seriously, no matter how big a joke the members of the Bloc seem to think it may be.
