Mr. Speaker, I would like to pursue a little further the member's expressed concerns about the invasion of American
culture which might overwhelm all of Canada including his province, according to his thesis.
I really wonder if he believes that in an independent Quebec in the English cultural sea which the hon. member opposite mentioned they could hope to resist these forces without the protection, care and nurturing that French Canadian culture gets outside of Quebec? This is the buffer zone and we pay for it. We westerners pay for it at enormous cost.
I do not say I like it, but it is happening. I think the hon. member should be duly grateful.
