Speaking of transport, two weeks ago in my riding we opened the V\u00e9loroute des bleuets, a bicycle path around the Lac-Saint-Jean that will give all visitors as well as residents a chance to tour this lovely region. It is probably one of the few bicycle paths that forms a loop, in other words, you never cover the same ground twice.</p>\n<p>I say this just in passing. Now, from cycling to boating.</p>\n<p>Shipping is probably one of the most important economic sectors in Quebec and Canada. Need I add that it helped create our two countries. That is why it is essential to consider every aspect of a bill that concerns this sector before taking action.</p>",
