Mr. Speaker, my colleague has asked a very good question.
Briefly, I would point out that the word “sovereignty” includes the word “sovereign”. Being sovereign means that one makes all of one's own decisions.
This is what I want to say: when Quebec is sovereign, it will collect its own taxes as it sees fit and spend the money as it wishes. It will also support the province's development in ways it feels are best.
Right now, it does not always seem as though Quebec is reaching its full potential. On the contrary, there is still so much to do. That is why we are working toward achieving sovereignty, but in the meantime, we are working on development and on urging the Government of Canada to negotiate with the Government of Quebec.
