Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the hon. member for Hochelaga for his forceful comments.
He speaks as though the Bloc could speak for all Quebeckers. I respect his attempt to do so, but I would say that opinion is divided on the question he asked me and I do not believe that the Bloc has the right to speak for all Quebeckers.
There are many opinions on this issue and to say that this measure insults the rights of Quebeckers is a bit too strong.
Our party's position is to respect provincial jurisdictions. We are waiting for the Supreme Court ruling on this matter.
