Sébastien Lemire Bloc Québécois
“Ottawa treats Ontario better than Quebec. It gives money to forestry and mining projects in Ontario, but ignores similar projects in Quebec.”
“Madam Speaker, I would be happy to raise my voice to show that I am passionate as well. The reality is that we can make a point-by-point comparison. Forestry companies receive subsidies to operate in Kapuskasing. A project like the one in Dumont Nickel has not yet been recognized, but a comparable project in Timmins, Ontario, has. There are countless examples where Ottawa does not recognize Quebec, and that is deeply problematic.”
