Madam Speaker, the first thing to clarify is that, from the outset, we do not belong to the same nation, so our national interest and national values will not be the same.
There are obviously a lot of projects that are in the national interest of Quebec, and we have never been afraid of doing them. With Hydro-Québec, we built the big dams, and we were able to do it responsibly. In Quebec, there are no projects related to energy sources of the past, polluting energy sources, energy sources that today are condemned by science and by economic and environmental common sense, which seem to be in what we could call the national interest. I cannot think of any.
If my colleague is so convinced that there are projects that would benefit the provinces, if he is so convinced that, of our own free will, we would all be very excited about the prospect of obvious success, why is it necessary to institutionalize arm-twisting?
