Mr. Speaker, the federal government is divesting itself of the port facilities that it has abandoned for decades.
In the area of air transportation, the federal government made hostages of the regions. Airfares are exorbitant and flight schedules are ineffective.
The federal government is also neglecting the whole shipbuilding industry, and Quebec shipyards are still waiting for the necessary funding.
The federal government has systematically demonstrated its inability to provide Quebec with transportation infrastructures that support its development.
Such are the costs of Canadian federalism, of Quebec's non-sovereignty. Quebecers can no longer tolerate this situation.
What Quebecers want is a sovereign Quebec that will be receptive to their needs and that will have the tools to correct the situation. They want a Quebec in which we will be responsible for our actions as a people.
Quebec's sovereignty is the only solution.
