Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my newly elected colleague on her first speech in the House. I remember mine as a very moving experience. When I rose for the first time, I also remember thanking my family members, being overcome with emotion and having tears in my eyes. I have a very good idea of the emotions my colleague is feeling right now.
We are currently debating a Bloc Québécois amendment to the amendment. It is an amendment to the Conservative Party amendment. The amendment to the amendment is very simple. All it does is insist that the jurisdictions of Quebec and the provinces be respected.
I would like my colleague to comment on that, if she has finished what was left of her speech. Does her party support the idea that the federal government must categorically and unconditionally respect the jurisdictions of Quebec and the provinces at all times?
