Madam Speaker, I hope I will have the same time as the hon. member.
First, I have always said that when Quebec City communicates, it informs. When Ottawa communicates, it is propaganda.
For example, in fiscal year 1999-2000, the Government of Quebec, through various departments, such as the departments of revenue, finance, treasury board and others, gave $96,000 to the Mouvement national des Québécois et Québécoises. That is legitimate. I have always said that it was legitimate to promote separation. Two referendums were held in Quebec and Quebecers said no. Is this not democratic?
Why are they allowed to talk up their option while we are obliged to say nothing and not defend our options? Where is democracy in all this?
