Mr. Speaker, the example comes from on high. The founding leader of his party was a member of just about every party in Canada. He even found that there were not enough parties, so he created a new one, the Bloc Quebecois. He quickly left it.
Nevertheless, the member enjoys quoting from my speeches. During the last election campaign, the Bloc Quebecois published all of my speeches. I guess they were pretty good, since I won by several thousand votes. I recommend they publish my speeches again in my riding. That would be most helpful.
If my speeches really were that bad, the Prime Minister has certainly forgiven me. This means that he is quick to forgive, because we are doing good work. My first concern—and I have not switched parties seven times, I only changed parties once—has always been my fellow citizens.
All of my constituents stood by me throughout this process, I guess. Rest assured that we will continue to do good work. I understand why the Bloc Quebecois is worried and nervous. According to the polls, they have the support of only 20% to 25% of voters.
We are looking forward to the next provincial election in Quebec. We know that their colleagues in the Parti Quebecois are in deep trouble. We are expecting, by the way, a Parti Quebecois leadership race in the fall. Their worries are understandable. I understand and share this concern of theirs.
