Mr. Speaker, my colleague asked a very good question. I think that I can answer it by giving another example.
When we said that Quebec's resources were at capacity and that the federal government needed to find solutions for asylum seekers and temporary residents, such as fair distribution among the provinces, we were called every name in the book. However, when the other provinces started saying that there was a problem, then all of a sudden, Ottawa started listening. Unfortunately, that is often the case. When Quebec has a problem, Ottawa does not seem to think it is serious or important. The government seems unable to listen to Quebec. Unfortunately, that is one of the reasons Quebeckers think that they would be better off in their own country. This government does not work for them.
