Mr. Speaker, like the hon. member just said, I am proud to be a Quebecer, because Quebec is a modern society with a wealth of resources, and a society that is well recognized throughout the world.
Since Quebec has been able to develop and come of age inside the Canadian federation, why should it sever its links with Canada? If it remains a part of Canada, as I am sure it will, Quebec will be able to go on with its development and have all its many talents recognized. If everything is so fine, why bring to a halt such a valuable experience, which is the envy of the world and which everybody would like to share in?
Mr. Speaker, even the hon. members opposite give good reasons why Quebec should remain a part of Canada. If the hon. member could ask the question, I am sure the answer would be that Quebec will indeed remain part of Canada.
