Mr. Speaker, my hon. colleague comments on the Bloc preference for Air Canada. I do not think there is any question in this issue that once again we have drawn east-west lines within Canada. One thing I can honestly say with regard to the Bloc members is that at least they are up front about separation and about standing up for Quebec. I have a really hard time listening to Reform members who are willing to sell out Canada at every single turn.
The 10% rule was put in place to ensure broad participation in Air Canada after it was taken from being a public company and privatized. Even the U.S. would not go about doing the things which Reform suggests. The Americans would not allow total takeover of their systems. They do not allow cabotage within the U.S., but the Reform Party thinks it is totally okay in Canada and would allow the U.S. to come in.
I want Quebec to remain a part of Canada, but at least the Bloc members are up front.
