Just listen, Mr. Whip.
In fact, this is not a new demand, it is one that we have always made. But, once again, I am only repeating to the members of the House of Commons what the Bloc Quebecois has pointed out time and time again within these walls and what politicians from Quebec, even some of the most timid Liberals in your ranks, have been clamouring for too long.
The government would like the official opposition to vote for the bill, even though it all but ignores Quebec's demand.
No, members of the Bloc Quebecois will not help the government disregard one of Quebec's legitimate demands. We are here to defend Quebec's interests, and in the interests of Quebec, we must vote against this bill.
