Mr. Speaker, I will conclude. Being interrupted this way cuts off inspiration, but we will get used to it.
As regards the position of the Bloc Quebecois, you have of course guessed that we support the request. The Government and the people of Newfoundland have asked us to ratify a resolution concerning the amendment of term 17 of the Newfoundland's terms of union with Canada.
We consider we should accede to this request, and I encourage all members of this House to do likewise, for two reasons. The first is that the will of the people has been expressed in a referendum. We saw that very clearly. The second is that education is a provincial matter.
The House of Commons must accede to this consensus as it had to for the amendment requested by Quebec on section 93. I dare to hope that the House will do so when the people of Quebec expresses with equal clarity its wish to become a sovereign country.
