Sébastien Lemire Bloc Québécois
“The airport in Montreal is vital to Quebec's economy, but the government did not consult Quebec before acting. I want the Liberals to explain why they showed such a lack of respect to Quebec.”
“Mr. Speaker, we take that to mean “no”. Aéroports de Montréal comprises representatives of the Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal, the Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montreal, the Government of Quebec, and of the airlines. Essentially, they are representatives from Quebec because the airport sector plays a vital role in Quebec’s economy. Somehow though, this was not important enough for anyone in the government to pick up the phone and call Quebec to consult them. How can the Liberals justify this total lack of respect and consideration for the Government of Quebec and for Quebeckers?”
