Madam Speaker, first of all, I feel personally concerned by the remarks made by my colleague, who is asking members of the Bloc Quebecois what they are doing here.
Does he think that the 22,000 voters in the riding of Saint-Jean who voted for me all did so by mistake? Democracy being what it is, 44 of our members were elected to this place and sent here by their constituents.
As far as democratic values are concerned, I think we must recognize that any decision made by the voters is the right decision. I wish the hon. member would not continually hassle us with that.
Earlier, he alluded to the nasty separatists bringing in a catastrophic motion. Is he suggesting that the premiers of Ontario—Mike Harris—of Alberta, of New Brunswick and of Nova Scotia, who would probably vote in favour of the motion before us if they were members of this House, area completely out of touch? Is he suggesting that they too are separatists? In my opinion, Mike Harris is not the biggest supporter of Quebec's sovereignty.
