When you put all that together, the effect it produces is clearly to reduce Quebec's weight and influence. If that suits you as a Quebecker, then please don't ask us to cry over what previously happened. That has nothing to do with what is going on now.
The principles are clear. The question of numbers is one of them, and the question of political weight is another. As Quebeckers, we are asking that those two principles be adhered to, in the same way the Constitution already provides that an adjustment should be made for provinces like Prince Edward Island. Why not for Quebec?
