Mr. Speaker, this is the first time that I have asked my leader a question, but since we did not confer together earlier, I do not expect any kudos for the quality of my question or my hard work.
In fact, what I have to say is quite simple. We heard this question and we know that Ottawa has a long history of using crises to further centralize power. We have also heard multiple times about different Trojan horses, like not having 13 economies but only one, even though Quebec has been trying since the 1960s to build an economy, a separate model for its institutions, its own approach to the community sector, its own approach to the social sector, and its own approach to SMEs.
What is my colleague's response to hearing the Prime Minister, time and again, speak of nothing but unity when he was asked this question today? Although the Quebec National Assembly unanimously passed a motion expressing its concerns, they seem to have no effect on him at all.
