Mr. Speaker, last week, Laurent Beaudoin, the president of Bombardier, felt that Quebec was too small for a multinational like his. It is rather ironic to hear those who owe their success to Quebec solidarity treating us as incompetents.
While Switzerland and Sweden, each with about the same population as Quebec, have more than twenty multinationals of this calibre, in their opinion, Quebec will not be up to it.
A sovereign Quebec, which will rank fifteenth as a world economic power, nothing less, will not be up to it-what an idea. Who do they think Quebecers are anyways?
While the No camp, those who advocate the status quo and stand-pattism are shrinking, reducing and crushing Quebec, the Yes camp, the camp for change, believes in Quebec's and Quebecers' potential and is betting on the young and their future.
