Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the separatist dream merchants received a cold shower from the United States. The U.S. secretary of state, Warren Christopher, dispelled the separatist dream concerning the special relationship that an independent Quebec would continue to have with the United States.
Mr. Christopher said: "The fact that Canada is a united nation is an important aspect which explains our ability to get along with that country, to do business with it, and to have a successful relation".
Separatist leaders can continue to generate confusion and sell dreams wherever they go, but they will never succeed in fooling Quebecers. On October 30, Quebecers will say no to a project which would only isolate Quebec.
