Once again, Mr. Speaker, when the Premier of Quebec intervened yesterday, it was not to say that he disagreed with the official languages commissioner, but to say that she did not have the right to interfere in Quebec's jurisdiction, supposedly because Quebec is a nation.
My view is that, if the concept of nation becomes a sort of wall separating us as Quebecers from other Canadians, that is to distort the meaning of the word nation in French and in English.
