Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech, and I have a really simple question for him.
This Bloc Québécois motion and the bill that will accompany it are about doing something major for Quebec. It is not about recognition based on demographics alone, because the demographic situation could change. For example, in terms of demographics, the two provinces with the highest aging populations are Ontario and Quebec, a fact that is not even taken into account in health care funding, by the way.
It is more a question of political weight. Quebec has been recognized as a distinct society and as a nation.
Do Quebec's political weight and representation in the House deserve to be maintained or even increased?
