Do not pay too much attention to the way in which Mr. Petit describes Quebec's Charter of the French Language or the bills which the Bloc Québécois and the NDP have introduced to protect employees' rights. Let us be clear: the finger of blame has been pointed at us, at all Quebeckers and at everybody in this room who respects Quebeckers. VIA Rail can rest assured that, whether Quebec becomes sovereign or remains part of Canada, and whether it is an NDP or a Bloc Québécois bill that is adopted with the support of all members in the House of Commons, the aim is the same, to ensure respect for the Quebec nation in such situations and, of course, to ensure respect for all employees in all fields in Quebec.
