Mr. Speaker, we too extend our condolences to all those affected by this tragedy.
The Parti Québécois has once again stated it wants independence for economic reasons. That party would never have said such a thing during the Conservative years because taxes were low, debts were low, income taxes were low, inflation was low and growth was high. The Prime Minister turned all that around, and now some people in Quebec want to separate as a result.
Does he acknowledge that his policies are not worth the cost, nor are they worth dividing our country?
