“We are spending money to train people in skilled trades. Quebec will need 80,000 of these workers in the next five years. We will respect Quebec's authority as we work with them on this.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. First, it is important to know that we are investing in workforce training for skilled trades because there will be a need for it, especially in Quebec. The Commission de la construction du Québec is saying that there will be a need for 80,000 workers in the next five years. Obviously, we will respect Quebec’s jurisdictions. We have been doing so since 1997 with the agreement in principle on the workforce. I am very pleased to be able to work with my counterpart, Minister Boulet, to ensure that we can quickly deliver results for Quebeckers.”

“The Bloc Québécois usually tries to start fights between Quebec and Ottawa. We want to work to give Quebeckers job training instead.”

“Mr. Speaker, April 29 is a historic day. This is the first time I have heard a Bloc member say that the last thing his party wants is a squabble between Quebec and Ottawa. For 10 years, I have seen them constantly trying to start fights between Quebec and Ottawa. On this side, we want to deliver results for Quebeckers in terms of workforce training, and that is exactly what we are going to do.”
