Mr. Speaker, I am pleased because I love asking the member for Winnipeg North questions.
First, I am going to ask him about his reaction. I was in the hall near the lobby earlier, and I heard him say that a separatist party was proposing this. He is right. I would encourage him to continue.
Later on in his speech, he asked what the Bloc was doing here. We defend Quebec's interests because Canada does not do a great job of that, In fact, it often works against Quebec's interests. As our Green Party colleague pointed out, perhaps he should listen to what we are saying, because we are much more constructive than destructive. What we want is not to break up Canada, but to build Quebec. That is very different. It means taking charge of and developing our destiny as an autonomous nation. I would like him to think about that tonight as he goes to bed.
