Mr. Speaker, the behaviour of New Brunswick Premier Frank McKenna, who is courting Quebec businesses to bring them to his province, is utterly disgraceful. While begging Quebecers to vote no in the referendum and asking them, once again, to believe in Canadian federalism, Mr. McKenna was secretly working to take away their jobs.
What a great demonstration of love for the people of Quebec from the Premier of New Brunswick. This is the man who, when Quebec was in a weak position and making minimal demands, was the first one to stab it in the back by repudiating the Meech Lake accord.
The next time Quebecers have to make a decision on their future, they will not be fooled by the real intentions and hypocritical attitudes of people such as Mr. McKenna.
