Mr. Speaker, the hon. member for Pictou—Antigonish—Guysborough was absolutely correct in reconfirming what I had said earlier. We hope and wish the Bloc Quebecois and its members will support the motion for the very fact that they on behalf of their constituents would now be setting a benchmark and standard throughout the country which would have water quality as its raison d'être. If the province of Quebec wants to raise that bar even higher and set those standards higher, we would applaud that.
In the House of Commons on May 8th, 2001. See this statement in context.
