Mr. Speaker, the word "confusion" perfectly describes the precautions taken by separatist leaders to package their project so as to make it as vague as possible.
As evidence of that, let us look at the findings of a poll conducted by Créatec and made public this week. Fifty per cent of those who intend to vote yes think that separation will only occur after the conclusion of an agreement with Canada. As for the
famous June 12 agreement, only 19 per cent of the public knows more or less what it is all about.
The poll also shows, and this is nothing short of tragic, that 28 per cent of those who would vote yes believe that a sovereign Quebec would remain a Canadian province.
The whole separatist strategy is nothing but a smoke screen used to hide the real objective, which is to separate Quebec from Canada. However, Quebecers do not want that and they will vote no on October 30.
