Mr. Speaker, I do not agree with the NDP member.
Canada is a nation, and our society is not based on two or three peoples. The basis of our Canadian society is Canadian citizenship.
I do not agree that Quebec is a nation. I do not agree with the recognition of that in this House, and I indicated so five or six years ago.
Most important, I think that the basis of our society is no longer two or three founding peoples. It is not a nation of nations, but rather Canadian citizenship. Canadian citizenship is the basis of our society, whereby every citizen, regardless of where they live in this country, should have an equal say, an equal vote over who governs them and who gets to represent them in this chamber.
That is why our government's bill is so very important. I encourage members to support it.
