Mr. Speaker, because of the federal government's stubborn refusal to recognize the nation of Quebec, I let myself get carried away this afternoon during oral question period. I want to apologize sincerely to the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration and express my regrets for my gesture.
Nevertheless, I would like to state that as long as I sit as an elected member of this House, I will continue to defend the interests of Quebec and to promote the nationhood of Quebec.
