The federal Liberals are so obsessed with dumping on Quebec that they are no longer fulfilling their role as members of the government party. Ethanol will provide new prosperity for corn growers and it will boost Ontario's economy. The first phase of the ethanol plant will start next week, through the efforts of many, especially our minister of agriculture. Ethanol is a win-win proposal for our environment, farmers and long term economic growth. I am equally proud of this government's intestinal fortitude and determination to ban MMT, the nasty American fuel additive.
Alternative fuels are the wave of the future.

How can the Bloc Quebecois continue its unfair criticism of our strategy to tackle the deficit, when its boss, the PQ, is congratulating us on our work and offering us public support. If things continue in this vein, their presence in Ottawa will be hard to justify, particularly when the next election comes around.
