Mr. Speaker, the Yes side has a real problem refraining from excluding various groups when it discusses who is a true Quebecer and who is not.
The recent controversial comments made by the Bloc Quebecois leader concerning the low birth rate among whites were echoed once again in the separatist camp.
Mr. Emmanuel Marcotte, president of the Yes committee for the Outaouais region, said: "It is a fact, it is a white race. I mean it is a fact. Let us call a spade a spade. We are white people. We are not yellow and we are not green. We are white. You do not like the word race, but that is the truth".
These comments follow a long series of discriminatory and racist statements made by the Yes side. On October 30, Quebec will say no to intolerance and to exclusion.
