Mr. Speaker, we on this side have the solution to all the disputes and to everything that is going on with the federal government, and that is sovereignty for Quebec.
Let us have a sovereign Quebec, with full powers in health, education, welfare and all the problems will be resolved.
When I see my colleague opposite boasting about this agreement today, when we are only getting what was ours to begin with, this is not a gift. Since 1993, we have sustained massive cuts. This government has yielded to pressure from the public and all the provinces. At least it has had the courage to put a little money back into health care.
With respect to the social union, I would like to ask the hon. member to pledge that his government will never interfere in health, education and social programs again. The reason for this request is that Quebec could not be a part of this social union because the document put forward by the Prime Minister of Canada was not clear.
