Mr. Speaker, the Canadian finance minister described as a separatist dream the proposed political and economic union between an independent Quebec and Canada.
On December 3, 1993, the PQ leader himself raised serious doubts about the feasibility of such a partnership with Canada soon after Quebec's separation. He said that believing that, upon Quebec's declaration of sovereignty, we will be able to negotiate a multitude of economical and political changes with Canada is like asking for the moon.
The Minister of Finance is right: economic and political union will not be possible after the referendum because Quebec separatists want Quebec to separate, and our answer to that is No.
