Mr. Speaker, I agree with 99% of my NDP colleague's remarks.
The Reform Party said it wanted to give greater autonomy to Quebec, but that is not the point. The only way Reform would have a mathematical, theoretical or even political hope of forming a government is if Quebec did not exist, if there were no francophones, including Acadians. The Reform style is to divide and conquer. It is Machiavellian. It is cynical.
The hon. member's party and our own share the representation in the maritimes. They are the access for the development of this country and will surely not be the exit for the Reform Party.
