Mr. Speaker, Bloc members are resorting to the scaremongering tactics of Quebec's separatists.
Indeed, we learned that the Bloc member for La Prairie began using such tactics on the elderly as early as last March.
In an interview with the weekly Le Reflet régional , the Bloc member said: ``It is not Quebec's sovereignty which threatens the income of seniors; the danger for old age pensions comes from the federal government. Such is the price to be paid if we vote no at the next referendum''.
These comments by a member of Parliament are both irresponsible and shameful. They also show the weakness of the separatists' arguments. Stop using such silly scaremongering tactics. Quebecers are not interested in separating and they will vote no on October 30.
