Mr. Speaker, it is unfortunate that the Leader of the Opposition is travelling around the country these days professing to be the great defender of francophone rights outside Quebec. When the time came to authorize real self-determination for Acadians outside Quebec, he and his party voted against this proposal. Why? In his own words, to punish those who voted against Charlottetown. The following question then arises: Does the Leader of the Opposition truly want to support student rights or is he merely interested in doing some politicking to advance his own separatist goals?
In the House of Commons on May 30th, 1994. See this statement in context.
