Mr. Speaker, I salute my colleague and congratulate her on her re-election.
The government says it wants to defend the economic sovereignty of Canada and Quebec through the back door. However, the Speech from the Throne does not mention the words “aluminum”, “forest”, or “aerospace”, which are three important economic pillars for defending economic sovereignty, among other things.
The question I would like to ask my colleague from Sherbrooke is very simple. Does this silence mean that defending Quebec's economic interests is just not a priority for the current government?
