Mr. Speaker, yesterday in this House, we were treated to an excellent performance of feigned indignation by the Bloc.
Despite the ill-advised theatrics, the facts are overwhelming. For several years, many Bloc Québécois members have been funding Le Québécois, a newspaper published by Patrick Bourgeois, that unsavoury individual who has encouraged violence and public disorder.
The City of Quebec is suffering as a result today. The Quebec City tourism office estimates that over $3 million will be lost as a result of the cancellation of the re-enactment of the battle of the Plains of Abraham.
While our government is working to help Quebeckers keep their jobs, the Bloc is doing what it does best, that is, blocking Quebec's progress.
On behalf of my fellow citizens, I have a message for the Bloc. Enough is enough. Quebec wants to move forward. Quebec wants to work. That is what people want in Quebec.
