Mr. Speaker, the comments made by the Bloc leader, comparing his party to the French resistance, were completely inappropriate.
He should apologize immediately, as that is an insult to the taxpayers who have been paying for his salary and driver for 20 years, not to mention the generous Canadian government pension, a golden pension, a record pension.
Speaking of pensions, the contradictions of the separatist leader do not stop there. According to the website BRANCHEZ-VOUS.com, the leader of the “resistance” allegedly has investments—where?—in the oil sands.
For the chief critic of the oil sands and their development, that is a rather gross and flagrant hypocrisy. It is good enough for his portfolio, but not for Quebec.
After 20 years, the Bloc leader should face facts, stop resisting, and see that Quebec would be better off working as part of Canada.
