Mr. Speaker, first the hon. member has asked if I recognize the people of Quebec. I certainly do. First and foremost they are Canadians and Quebeckers. They are a part of Canada.
We all know that by being a part of the federation of Canada we get a great many benefits by being Canadian. Quebeckers enjoy health care, unemployment insurance, welfare and all the social safety nets. They enjoy being Canadian. They enjoy not needing a passport to travel from one province to another. They enjoy the use of national defence.
There are many reasons why Quebeckers have, as the polls are telling us now, chosen to be Canadians. I certainly do recognize Quebeckers. I believe we all love and want Quebec in Canada.
