Mr. Speaker, I must inform you that from 1993 to 1997 a non-Canadian sat in this House.
I am referring to the Bloc Quebecois member, Roger Pomerleau, who represented the riding of Anjou—Rivière-des-Prairies for four years, and who said last week in Rivière-du-Loup that he is not a Canadian and is insulted that he is being treated like one.
We have seen the trouble the Bloc Quebecois has defining who is a Quebecker and who is not, which is rather troubling for a party that wants Quebec to separate. We also know that, for these folks, it is not possible to be a Canadian and a Quebecker at one and the same time, contrary to what most Quebeckers think.
Could we know how many non-Canadians there are in the Bloc Quebecois right now? Are the leader and the House leader of the Bloc Quebecois as insulted to be considered Canadians as the fellow the people of Anjou—Rivière-des-Prairies did not re-elect four years ago?
