Mr. Speaker, yesterday the PQ leader found out that not all mayors concerned with the day to day administration of their municipalities will commit lightly to any project without finding out first what the costs and impacts will be.
The mayor of Montmagny, Jean-Claude Croteau, took advantage of the presence of the PQ Premier in his region to invite him to indicate in advance what the offer of partnership to be made to Canada the day after a yes vote would be.
The supporters of separation refuse to make that offer of partnership public, because they know full well that an economic and political union between an independent Quebec and Canada is impossible. The only real option they are pursuing is separation. The rest is just another example of smoke and mirrors to confuse the public.
