Madam Speaker, the hon. member has asked me whether I should not be speaking out.
We have nothing to learn from the separatists and the péquistes. We need only mention Québec Air. What did they do? The PQ government never held any hearings before the transport committee. It signed orders. It did not protect northern regions.
Today, I am here to protect northern Canadians, and that is what I am going to do. My message is that I am here to defend my constituents.
