Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question.
There is one thing that strikes me. I was elected in 2004, and not a week goes by in this House when some attempt is not made to intrude upon Quebec’s fields of jurisdiction. We must constantly be defending our existence. I want to say that life is very difficult when you are a woman, a francophone and a sovereignist.
My colleague is completely right when he says that they want to use the budget to saddle us with a national securities commission, possibly with some deals underlying this whole new system they want to bring in. One wonders how this can be foisted off on us with no justification. I wonder if the old tactic of “divide and conquer” might not be in play here in this House.
