Mr. Speaker, last Sunday, 800 committed separatists spent $125 each to have a drink with the leader of the Bloc Quebecois and celebrate their first anniversary in opposition in the House of Commons.
On Monday morning, Le Devoir reported that very few PQ members of the National Assembly and cabinet ministers answered the invitation to raise a glass with the Bloc leader.
Clearly, the falling popularity of separatism bothers him a lot. That is why he said it was time for separatists to wake up.
Are we to conclude, then, that despite what the leader of the Bloc said in front of Mr. Parizeau and the other guests, they preferred to continue dozing off for the rest of the celebrations?
