Mr. Speaker, I will be brief. First of all, perhaps the member should talk to his leader, who said that there was no difference, describing himself as a separatist in Washington. I think that, in his mind, the words sovereignist and separatist had the same meaning. He boasted about being a separatist in Washington and was very proud of that. So I thought there was no difference, taking the leader of the opposition at his word.
The member talks about Quebec as if he was speaking on behalf of all Quebecers. Let me remind him that, on referendum day, a little over 49 per cent of Quebecers voted in favour of his option, but the majority voted for the other option. So it seems to me that the majority of Quebecers have stated their position. If it changes some day, then so be it. However, for the time being, what counts is that we have won a totally democratic referendum despite a totally vague question.
We won a referendum in which Quebec clearly chose to follow the lead given by the Prime Minister, which is to have recognition of the distinct society, to give a veto to Quebec and to sort out jurisdictions. That is what we will do, and that is what we are in the process of doing.
