I really do. We're clear on the meaning of the word “national.” We know that Quebec is a nation. There is no confusion on our part. We know exactly what we are.
When a bill is tabled, we are receiving some recognition from the other nation as well. We cannot put forward a bill and tell people that they will recognize themselves in that piece of legislation. When the Prime Minister recognized us as a nation, he was the one who took the initiative to do so, not us. We know that we are a nation. Theoretically, we do not need the Prime Minister to tell us that, but it is important that he recognize our nation status. So then, when a bill that is tabled refers to a nation, it is important that our nation status also be recognized.
