Mr. Speaker, I think this indicates very clearly that the members of the Reform Party have understood absolutely nothing and have no comprehension of the Quebec fact, of Quebec's claims or anything at all.
First, on the subject of the flags at Nagano, or abroad, we were upset by the arrogance of the Canadian organizers in plastering the buildings with flags. There were too many. It was arrogant and provocative in terms of the other countries that were competing at the Olympic Games too.
It was arrogant and provocative behaviour on February 26 on the part of the Liberals and the Reformers, when the member of the Bloc Quebecois rose to put her question in this House. How did they interrupt her? With the Canadian flag. On top of that, how did they interrupt you, Mr. Speaker? With the national anthem. That was provocation and arrogance.
In response to his wondering whether I will sing O Canada here in this House, I tell him no—not because I have no respect for it.
