Mr. Speaker, I know that, for many years, the Government of Quebec has had very good representatives in Washington and elsewhere in the world to talk about issues relating to its provincial laws.
At the same time, as a bilingual country that protects French and English within its borders, we will continue to be there during negotiations—as we were during the renegotiation of NAFTA several years ago with the American government—to protect Canada's culture and linguistic reality as well as the distinct character of our citizens from coast to coast to coast.
