Mr. Speaker, perfection might be found in the way my friend from Richmond-Arthabasca speaks, but just like his NDP colleague from Winnipeg-Transcona he does not know how to listen and hear to perfection. He should have listened to the speech by the member for Drummond who said that the Bloc Quebecois had absolutely nothing against the five principles of medicare.
My colleague said we should get our money back without any precondition. I also would like to remind my learned colleague from Richmond-Arthabasca that in the late 1980s and up to the beginning of 1993, when his party was in office, on the other side, it was next to perfect. And then in 1993 perfection dropped to two members.
In conclusion, I would like to say this: at no time in his speech did he mention the right of the government to interfere in, control or put its nose in the way Quebec manages its affairs. Whether he agrees or not, he did not say so and made no mention of their accomplishments. I would like him to elaborate further on this.
