Mr. Speaker, it has been the same story for 30 years.
In 1967, Jacques Parizeau, the Bloc Quebecois' senior adviser, or maybe its crypto-leader, warned people that, although Canada was amazingly decentralized, centralization was in the offing. Barely two months ago, Mr. Parizeau repeated this warning.
In Canada, the provinces and the federal government work in partnership, and that will continue to be the case.
