I will come back to that. That is what I was going to reply to my colleague.
In fact, we lost the last referendum and I have often heard my colleagues in the Reform Party wondering why we did not respect the decision of Quebecers.
The Bloc Quebecois and the Parti Quebecois are political parties advocating the sovereignty of Quebec. We are not the ones who decide, of course; that is up to the people of Quebec. To this end, we must hold referendums in Quebec. We cannot, however, hold referendums unless we have been elected to do so. In the end, therefore, it is the people of Quebec themselves who decide whether or not they want referendums by electing or by not electing the Parti Quebecois, which alone, of course, can make this proposal.
We therefore have great reservations about this bill, another promise not kept.
