Mr. Speaker, I simply want to use another quote to make a point and then go back to the main issue.
Here is the quote. It reads: "Canada has always protected French speaking people. It always let them be assimilated. If you know a bit of history-given your accent and your language, you may not have been a Quebecer at the beginning-did you study Quebec's history"?
I now go back to the main issue, but I want the House to know that, at least as far as I am concerned, those who applaud when the member for Rimouski-Témiscouata makes such comments should also be condemned, just like she was when she lashed out at another person, thus showing once again the separatists' intolerance. We saw that. We also saw that intolerance when the Leader of the Opposition made his statement about little white babies. We saw it in other statements too. We saw it today and we see it again with the applause of another member.
I will conclude my remarks by saying that we do not intend to support the legislation.
