Christine Normandin Bloc Québécois
“Quebec leaders oppose the Prime Minister's Clarity Act. He is acting against democracy. I want the Liberals to tell him to cancel this law.”
“Mr. Speaker, Quebec’s elected officials have condemned the Prime Minister’s drift toward authoritarianism with his Clarity Act. I would like to draw his attention to a reaction that might inspire him. The leader of the Quebec Liberals said, “We in the Liberal Party of Quebec are both federalists and democrats”. Yes, it is possible to be a federalist, a democrat, and a Liberal all at once. It is possible to hold multiple principles simultaneously. The Prime Minister, on the other hand, is merely a Liberal, in addition to being paternalistic and anti-democratic. Will the Liberals bring him back down to earth and ask him to repeal the Clarity Act?”
