Mr. Speaker, Lucien Bouchard has barely started his sovereignist pilgrimage to France to find symbolic support for his separatist cause and already the truth he refuses to see is hitting him right in the face.
A document released at a press conference held by Lucien Bouchard and French business representatives states that the temporary removal of the referendum threat has resulted in lower short term interest rates in Canada.
French business people too recognize that the political uncertainty generated by the sovereignist threat is hurting Quebec's and Canada's economy.
What more does Lucien Bouchard need to hear to put an end to such a costly threat to our economy?
