Mr. Speaker, if we choose sovereignty, we shall be able to make choices in keeping with our own values and priorities. By offering to associate ourselves with the rest of Canada in a partnership, we shall be able also to make shared decisions with our neighbours. The proposed partnership agreement with the rest of Canada is a winning combination.
It is a happy combination of autonomy and co-operation. It enables us to take advantage of the elements we have built together-the Canadian currency, the Canadian economic space-and to finally give up squabbling over areas in which our interests are divergent. A vote for change means a vote for ourselves, for the people of Quebec, above and beyond party lines. A Yes vote means finally standing up for our convictions, voting for what we are and what we want to be.
