Mr. Speaker, the marriage of the sovereignists and the Reform Party has been a rocky one, to say the least. Despite their vows, the honeymoon does not seem to have lasted very long!
Now the Bloc is linking up with Mike Harris, while the Reform Party is flirting with the likes of former PQ minister Rodrigue Biron.
As well, there is division among the sovereignists on the holding of a referendum. As recently as yesterday, Jacques Parizeau again demonstrated that the Parti Quebecois did not have the courage to be frank with Quebeckers as to whether or not there will be a referendum.
The people of Quebec are nobody's fools; they are calling for practical solutions to their problems and, as always, refuse to swallow any old story the Bloc and the sovereignists try to sell them.
