Mr. Speaker, Quebeckers and Canadians are sick of a government and an arrogant Prime Minister who makes light of a violent RCMP intervention by talking about the pepper he puts on his food, a Prime Minister who has already grabbed a demonstrator by the throat, a Prime Minister who shows his disdain for provincially elected politicians by saying that they would have to have been elected Prime Minister of Canada to be entitled to comment on Canada's future. And that is just too bad for Jean Charest.
These Liberals, who counted on the Conservative leader's absence to win in Sherbrooke, got theirs. I would bet a golf ball that the Prime Minister is too arrogant to understand why. The Bloc Quebecois victory in Sherbrooke sends a clear message: the public is sick to death of the arrogance of the Prime Minister and his government.
