Mr. Speaker, it was the Conservative government, under then prime minister Harper, that recognized Quebec as a nation. Culture, language and shared ancestry all played a part in determining what a nation is. With this in mind, the province of Quebec demands a level of autonomy that other provinces do not benefit from in Canada.
Would my colleague agree that the other provinces in Canada, such as Alberta, deserve more autonomy, away from the heavy hand of the federal government, in determining what is the best direction for their province, as with immigration, for example?
