Jacques Parizeau  , is it one from which everybody who is not an old stock Quebecker will be excluded? I consider these words a personal attack on my children and myself, as well as on all other Quebeckers of Greek origin.

Canada Labour Code   in this House-no, it was rather outside the House and the media reported it-that, in this referendum debate, maybe only the so-called old stock Quebecers should get involved in this issue.
