Mr. Speaker, let us not confuse two different issues.
The first has to do with improving this federation, which is already well advanced compared to others, including in its ability to express its views internationally.
The second concerns how to react to the obviously separatist ploys of the Bouchard government internationally.
I have here a document released two years ago entitled “Plan stratégique de ministère des relations internationales”. It contains the following “Actively promote the various facets of Quebec society internationally... so as to be able, when the time is right, to count on support in realizing the government's political project”.
Let us not confuse these two issues.
