Mr. Speaker, I find my colleague's comments interesting.
The federal government is a bit like a wolf in sheep's clothing when it comes to culture. It keeps the community on a tight leash and tries to keep a close eye on everything. Those who misbehave will lose their subsidies. Everyone has to sing O Canada at the top of their lungs. The sector is being watched closely.
At the end of the day, what the government is doing is letting Quebec culture die a slow death. It says not to worry, that it will pay for palliative care and that it will be painless.
The reality is that we do not want Ottawa to just pay for palliative care. We want to live, we want to exist, and for that, we need our own country.
