Mr. Speaker, I understand what my colleague from Winnipeg North is saying.
I wish I could have owned a grocery store in his riding during the pandemic. During that time, my colleague probably did not have time to go grocery shopping. However, based on his logic, he would still have given a cheque to that poor grocery store because they expected to receive one. If I have an electric vehicle instead of a gas‑powered vehicle, he thinks I should still give money to the corner gas station because the owner expects to receive a cheque. That is pretty flawed reasoning.
Quebec will never benefit from a stronger Canadian economy. We need our own economy. We need to be respected at home and spend our money in sectors that are priorities for us, based on our interests and values.
