Mr. Speaker, we are only a few days away from the referendum. Quebecers will soon have to decide whether or not they want to leave Canada.
Before making a decision, they should know that Canadians from the other provinces do not want Quebec to separate. Quebec is more than just one province among others. It is the very source of our history, our culture, our identity.
Through its politicians, its thinkers, its reporters, its artists, its athletes, its entrepreneurs, its trade unionists, Quebec has always been closely linked to Canada's development.
On October 30, Quebec will say No to Canada's break-up and decide to carry on its exciting adventure with its Canadian partners and to continue to shape this society, which is the envy of all the people in the world.
