Mr. Speaker, during the referendum campaign, I had the opportunity to travel to Quebec, where sovereignist posters showing possibilities through symbols are everywhere.
I do not understand these ads.
One poster, for example, seems to convey the message that, if Quebecers vote Yes, peace becomes possible. But we already have peace. Vote No and it becomes a certainty.
The posters say that a Yes vote would make the Canadian dollar a possibility. Vote No and it becomes a certainty.
Vote Yes and the economic union becomes a possibility. Vote No and it becomes a certainty.
Vote Yes and NAFTA becomes a possibility. Vote No and it becomes a certainty.
Why trade certainties for possibilities? It will be up to Quebecers to decide, and to live with the consequences.
