Mr. Speaker, it is not only Bill 21 and state secularism that Ottawa is attacking at the Supreme Court, it is worse than that.
By attacking the notwithstanding clause itself, Ottawa is attacking the ability of our National Assembly to vote democratically on any law that is supported by Quebeckers without having to beg Canada for permission first. This is an attack against secularism, but it is also an attack against our historical ability to protect the French language. It is an attack against our values and against the sovereignty of our legislative assembly.
Will the Liberals drop this offensive attack against Quebec?
