Mr. Speaker, the Bloc Québécois appears not to be answering the question. A vast coalition of two million Quebeckers told the Bloc Québécois to vote in favour of Bill C-64. Its members are critical of Quebec's existing plan.
I am quoting them because it is important. I am referring to the Union des consommateurs, the Fédération interprofessionalle de la santé du Québec, the Centrale des syndicats démocratiques, the Confédération des syndicats nationaux and the Fédération des travailleurs et travailleuses du Québec, which, on behalf of two million Quebeckers, are calling on Bloc Québécois members, who are members for Quebec after all, to listen to them and take action by passing Bill C‑64, which the NDP introduced in Parliament.
Let us be clear. I am quoting a coalition that the Bloc Québécois seems unwilling to listen to.
We are asking the federal government not to give in to the provinces and territories that are asking for an unconditional right to opt out with full financial compensation.
This coalition is saying that we need to pass Bill C‑64 and we need these negotiations.
Why does the Bloc Québécois insist on blocking this bill and refuse to listen to Quebeckers who want it to pass?
