Mr. Speaker, that is an excellent question. I would say that there is a big difference between when Bill 101 was passed and the bill that is before us, which we wanted to amend. The same applies to the issue of secularism, a subject we could no doubt discuss.
The main difference is that Quebec does not have a majority in this House. We do not have a majority, so the rest of Canada will decide for us and determine the criteria for obtaining citizenship.
In an independent country, we will decide for ourselves the criteria for granting citizenship.
