Mr. Speaker, the debate about the referendum has taken place mostly in Quebec because it is a Quebec referendum.
I certainly agree with the leader of the third party that all Canadians feel personally involved. I am especially happy to see that desire for involvement has finally been met by the huge rally which is presently taking place in Montreal. It shows that all Canadians from every part of the country consider that the choice being made in Quebec is the choice of their own country. That choice affects them personally and is one in which they want to have a voice.
I am proud so many people have found it possible to go to Montreal. They are expressing not only their love for Quebec and their desire to stay together but also their view that Quebecers and the rest of the Canadian population will be able to go through problems in the future much better if they stand together, which is what we hope will happen, than if they divide.
