Madam Speaker, I was in a good mood when I got up this morning, but this is a sad day, almost a day of mourning, for Quebec in this parliament today. Anger is brewing.
We are at third reading of a bill that will violate Quebec's jurisdiction over education. To make its centralizing vision clear and show how it totally disregards Quebec's provincial jurisdiction in this area, the government has decided to wrap up third reading in two hours. In practical terms, this means walking over the consensus, which is unanimous in Quebec.
Representatives of every student federation, deans of universities, people involved in all the various areas of education, came to tell us the same thing about this bill.
I will attempt to demonstrate to this House today why this is such a sad day for Quebec. In so doing, I will be sharing my time with the member for Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot. I seek the unanimous consent of the House to do so.
