Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for his kind words. Yes, I love history, but I also love the future.
I know that the Bloc members have talked a lot about the referendum they dream of having and about Quebec's independence, which they believe in and which I am not comfortable with, but that is part of democracy. If my colleague really wants a referendum, if he really wants a country, he will have to vote for the Parti Québécois and have the Parti Québécois form the provincial government in a year.
I completely disagree with the leader of the Parti Québécois. I think that the leader of the Bloc Québécois ran a very good federal election campaign. Yet despite that fact, the Liberals elected 44 members with the exact situation the member described.
How does he explain the fact that Quebeckers elected 44 Liberal members, when they knew full well that the situation he so carefully described would happen as he said?
