Mr. Speaker, I welcome the opportunity to put to my hon. colleague a question which I ask time and time again.
The exchange that just took place shows that Quebeckers can never get what they want out of the Canadian federal system, under either the Conservatives or the Liberals.
Today, we have Conservative members looking forward to vote against the consensuses in Quebec. The member for Lévis—Bellechasse passionately stated that Ottawa knows best. It knows was is good for the 125 MNAs in Quebec who passed two unanimous motions, both of which we support and are putting before this House today. All 125 members were wrong. Ottawa knows what is right for the people of Quebec.
I have a simple question for my hon. colleague. Where does this leave Quebeckers? With the federal system never meeting their needs, under either the Conservatives or the Liberals, what can they do to take charge and make their own decisions without having to seek permission from Ottawa?
