Mon collègue, le ministre de l'Industrie et moi avons quelque peu sursauté lorsqu'on a entendu les propos de la partie adverse, plus particulièrement du Bloc québécois, mais je pense que cela fait partie d'un pattern normal où on essaie de faire croire à la population du Québec que le gouvernement canadien n'intervient pas de façon positive.
I would like to say that my colleague the Minister of Industry and myself were somewhat taken aback by the comments made by the opposition, particularly by the Bloc Quebecois, but I think this is part of a normal pattern whereby these members try to suggest to the people of Quebec that the federal government is not doing anything positive.
