Mr. Speaker, I speak on behalf of my colleague from Peterborough who lost his voice and on behalf of the people of St. Catharines.
Four buses, two from each city, two cities which normally compete with each other, today drive together to join people from all over Canada at the no rally in Montreal.
Today Canadians are voicing their opinion. They are in Montreal to say to Quebecers that they want to stay together, they want to stay united. They are also reminding Quebecers of the seriousness of the vote.
Canadians are asking Quebecers to say no to destroying our political union, to say no to destroying our economic union, to say no to destroying Canada as we know it and as it has existed for many years.
Keep the family together. On Monday vote no. As proud Canadians we say let us keep the country together. We join in spirit with our constituents in Montreal in saying our Canada includes Quebec.
