Mr. Speaker,
The one and only reason for the national unity problems in this anglophone country, outside Quebec, is obviously the Quebec issue. This evening, I heard solutions to every problem, except concrete proposals for Quebec's aspirations.
Therefore, when we, as sovereignists, listen to what is being said across the country and when we see how the country is getting bogged down by this process, we can only think that this process is bound to fail.
They looked in the dictionary and came up with a new concept: in order to avoid using the expression “special status”, they are calling it asymmetry in an attempt to confuse an increasing number of Canadians. And the pseudo intellectuals who put their heads together thought that this concept could be sold to the rest of the country.
These words are from the current member for Outremont and political lieutenant for the Liberal Party in Quebec.
