I assure the House, as I assure my constituents, that I will do what it takes to be worthy of it.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8832647\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I would also like to congratulate my colleague on her recent election, and you on your election and appointment as Speaker of the House. I am confident that it is a wise appointment.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8832648\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The throne speech talks about creating a single Canadian economy. I heard my colleague talk about the people of Prescott\u2014Russell\u2014Cumberland. I wonder if these people support the fact that the economic authority of the Government of Ontario might one day come under that of the federal government.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8832649\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Are her constituents comfortable with this declaration giving the federal government some sort of precedence over their provincial government in Ontario?</p>",

J'ai entendu ma coll\u00e8gue nous parler des citoyens de Prescott\u2014Russell\u2014Cumberland. Je me demande si ces citoyens approuvent le fait qu'\u00e9ventuellement l'autorit\u00e9 \u00e9conomique du gouvernement de l'Ontario soit assujettie \u00e0 celle de l'autorit\u00e9 du gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8832649\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Ces citoyens sont-ils \u00e0 l'aise avec cette d\u00e9claration de donner au f\u00e9d\u00e9ral une esp\u00e8ce de pr\u00e9s\u00e9ance sur leur gouvernement provincial ontarien?</p>"
