Mr. Speaker, a majority of members of the Fédération des femmes du Québec support sovereignty. An exceptional proportion of 83 per cent of them have said yes to change. Each day, more and more women consider Quebec's sovereignty as a prerequisite to the progress of equity and justice in our society.
Whether it is for pay equity, parental leave, preventative withdrawal of work or child care services or to prevent regressive federal reforms of old age pensions and unemployment insurance, the women of the Fédération des femmes du Québec are convinced that only a sovereign Quebec will fulfil their needs.
The Bloc Quebecois invites all Quebec women to participate actively in the debate on Quebec's future.
