Mr. Speaker, yesterday, my friend the Bloc member for Frontenac again demonstrated his complete ignorance of Canada and its people.
The hon. member implied that the National Citizens Coalition speaks for the real English Canada that came to demonstrate at a rally in Montreal a few days before the referendum.
This statement shows how far removed separatists are from the real Canada. First of all, he ought to know that the vast majority of the 150,000 participants in this rally were from Quebec.
Second, unlike the separatists, the participants in this rally will not renege on their commitment to recognize Quebec as a distinct society.
There was no Jacques Parizeau in the crowd to say: "I could not care less about your distinct society".
