Mr. Speaker, the constituents of the federal riding of Waterloo, a part of English speaking Canada, overwhelmingly recognize that Quebec is a vital, integral
and essential part of our country. They recognize that Canada is greater than the sum of its parts.
They are concerned and apprehensive about the upcoming referendum in Quebec. They want a Canada that includes Quebec.
They know there are two sides to the referendum campaign: the separation side led by Jacques Parizeau and the unity side led by Daniel Johnson.
It is their expectation that political parties that say they favour a united Canada work together and not engage in self-serving political opportunism.
The questions raised by the Reform Party to the Prime Minister during question periods on the upcoming referendum have aided and abetted the Parti Quebecois and the Bloc Quebecois. It is time members of the Reform Party matched their rhetoric with action and got onside with the group that is working together for a united Canada.
