Mr. Speaker, I really enjoyed my colleague's speech and that of my colleague from Joliette—Manawan .

My colleague talked about Quebec businesses. As a member from Ontario and parliamentary secretary, I am more concerned with businesses in Ontario, but I know that the minister and my colleague, the parliamentary secretary and member for Marc-Aurèle-Fortin, are very involved with Quebec businesses.

I also appreciate my colleague's comments on specific businesses. My colleague from Joliette—Manawan and I heard about them at the Standing Committee on Industry and Technology.

Now, I have a question for him.

We know that the government has just made major investments in the port of Contrecoeur. Will these investments help the companies he is talking about?
