Mr. Speaker, the socio-economic summit in Quebec City ended yesterday. The Bloc Quebecois wishes to salute this event, which was successful in getting groups in Quebec to work together toward a common goal. This summit is another demonstration of Quebec's own way of addressing the problems facing our societies. It raises great hopes.
The Quebec model builds on union instead of division, on active participation instead of strict individualism, on putting public finances in order in an orderly and equitable fasion instead of through savage cuts.
As Lucien Bouchard, the premier, said, Quebec is the winner in this summit. Together, the people of Quebec have achieved great things. Together, they will keep on achieving great things. Quebec is really on the move.
