Mr. Speaker, there are Canada's interests, there are Quebec's interests, and it looks like there are also West Island's interests. For the actors in “West Island Story”, that is all that matters. They are willing to sacrifice Canada's francophone and Acadian minorities, and they refuse to protect French in Quebec. The only thing that matters to them are the interests of West Island. Can the minister tell us whether these MPs and ministers in the Liberal caucus will vote for the Liberal bill?

Mr. Speaker, everyone knows the expression “to fall asleep at the switch”. Well, my colleague is taking it to a new level, to the point that there will be a photo of the Conservative caucus next to the definition in the dictionary. The bill has been the subject of debate in the House and Senate for a year now. It is a good bill. The music, film and television industries have been asking for this bill. I am happy that the Conservatives are taking an interest in it today, but it is a bit late. They have been asleep for a year.

Mr. Speaker, if the member, or rather the leader of the Liberal-Bloc Québécois party, wants to talk about a caucus, he should maybe look in his own backyard. I am not sure everyone is going to be in the photo of his caucus. I am just throwing it out there. There might be more Bloc Québécois members than Liberals. The reality is that the minister likes to bicker with the Bloc Québécois. The Bloc is not complaining because Quebec's interests must be defended. Will the minister agree to meet with the Government of Quebec in committee so that it can express its views on this bill that it does not like?
