Mr. Speaker, Quebec is now one of the world's most modern and most industrialized societies. Quebec's expertise is widely recognized in a number of sectors and its products are increasingly sought after throughout the world. The people of Quebec enjoy a considerable standard of living, education is universal, and health care is one of the jewels in our crown.
The Quebec of today owes its success to the quality, ingenuity and determination of generation after generation of Quebecers. All of these accomplishments, all of this progress by Quebec, have taken place within the Canadian federation.
This coming October 30, Quebecers will refuse to compromise what it has taken them centuries to build. They will choose Canada; they will vote no.
