Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his question.
It is important that we on the government side, however we do it, elucidate clearly what we are saying and how we are going about this very important process, unlike the sovereignists opposite who seem to flail around and do not quite focus on this all important issue. I can tell the House that we have nothing to learn from those people over there.
I think back to the 1980s when Quebec Air was nationalized by the then Parti Quebecois. What did it do then? Did it consult with the people? Did it take a look at what should happen? No, it barrelled ahead and did all kinds of outrageous things.
Now those members on the other side are trying to tell us what we should do now. It is outrageous that they would sit in their seats and try to make that kind of pretension because they do not practise what they preach. All they do is flip-flop around and make all kinds of nonsensical issues in the best interest not of Canada, not of Quebec, but of their own small minded way.
Canadians will have no part of that because they saw through them in what they did with Quebec Air in the 1980s, and what they are preaching today is nothing but phony, phony, phony.
