Simon-Pierre Savard-Tremblay Bloc Québécois
“I want Quebec to become independent soon. Staying part of Canada costs much more than becoming our own country.”
“Mr. Speaker, a few years ago, we were talking about the medium or long term. Now, we can start talking about the short term, or at least I hope so. I will let my colleague guess what solution I recommend. I know that he recommends the same one. I will simply remind him that Pierre Falardeau said that, while there is certainly a cost to independence, there is also a cost to dependence, and it is immeasurably higher.”
