“Mr. Speaker, I always appreciate my colleague’s sense of humour. Using “lever le coude” in French for “elbows up” was very funny. I will give him another example. When people talk about the “shadow cabinet” here in the House, they refer to them in French as “ministres fantômes”. When I explain to my colleagues that “fantôme” means “ghost”, they do not find it funny, but that is our reality. Finally, I want to assure the member that all of us Quebeckers are proud of our culture. We are proud of this distinction that makes us a nation. That is why the Conservative government had recognized the principle of nationhood. I can assure him that I am very passionate about culture, as are the 77 members here in the House who represent all Quebeckers. The question I am going to ask him is this: They have a position that has been well known for a long time, and we have a position that has been well known for a long time. What does he think of a government that got elected on one thing, is doing something else and keeps changing its mind, going back and forth on this issue?”

Mr. Speaker, Positioning · 33 wordsthis warrants harsh judgment.My colleague is absolutely right.I will, however, take this opportunity to say that I have no doubt that every MP from Quebec has a strong sense of belonging.PositioningOff pointUnearned certaintyReasoning · 14 wordsThe difficulty is that they are forced to make compromises within the Canadian framework.Positioning · 35 wordsToo often, those compromises are made at the expense of Quebec culture and autonomy.That is why there is a fantastic project, one I invite him to take part in, and that is Quebec independence.Positioning
