“Can we count on this government to actually consult the provinces and Quebec? A strong Canada must respect provincial powers and priorities.”
“Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech. Does she believe that building Canada strong and the “nationalism” advocated by the Prime Minister includes respect for provincial jurisdictions? Is a strong Canada not necessarily a Canada that respects the jurisdictions of the various provinces? In this regard, can we count on the current government to consult the provinces, to really consult them, take their opinions into account, and create programs that respect the jurisdictions and priorities of each province and Quebec?”
