When a government is motivated by such partisan interests and when the people who support it have a perspective like the one I described earlier, it is a concern for welfare recipients who have no say in the decision-making process and no one in Parliament to inform the ministers of their problems.
When this session got underway a few months after we were elected to come here and work for the well-being of Canadians, our leader, the hon. member for Lac-Saint-Jean, told us and the press that our party would be the protector of social rights in Canada. He added that those who have no access to Cabinet or to the lobbies of powerful people with contacts and connections to influence the government would be able to count on the Official Opposition, that is the 54 Bloc Quebecois members, to represent them.
