-in terms of the human development index, the UN has decided three years out of four that Canada is the best place to live.
I ask the Bloc Quebecois member why they said this, and I just heard someone talking about his sovereignty, yet again. The members across the way think that all they have to do is sprinkle a little sovereignty on an issue to make it more palatable in their riding. I say to them that they are mistaken.
They can sprinkle sovereignty all over the place, but that will not change the facts, that will not alter what the UN said, that will not stop the rest of the world from envying Canada's position, and the inhabitants of most other countries from wanting to live here. The hon. member knows that, the members across the way all know that. They wanted to discuss numbers a while ago, but now that we have some numbers, they do not want to hear them.
What I have told them is true. The members across the way, whether they are Reformers or members of the Bloc Quebecois, should work with this government to make this country, which is the best in the world, even better, not just for us, but for our children and our children's children.
