I see this bothers the members of the Bloc. We show them the courtesy of listening to what they have to say, but they never show us the slightest courtesy. All they can do is shout.
That did not prevent me from saying what I think, that is that there are two sides to a coin. You, of course, would like Canada to break up. How could the Bloc Quebecois, the members of the Bloc, possibly accept a federal piece of legislation? Surely it is unthinkable. Indeed, the member for Laurentides showed her bitterness by saying how abysmally ignorant the current minister was on the issue. Speaking about the Irwing Whale , she invited the minister ``to take a very close look at the matter.'' What nerve.
In fact, as my colleague said, the current Minister of the Environment was the first one-I think there were six before her, including the Leader of the Opposition who was responsible for the matter for two years and did nothing despite all the mail he received-to take action less than three months after she got the environment portfolio. Now the member for Laurentides who is new to these matters has the nerve to say that the minister is abysmally ignorant.
