Andréanne Larouche Bloc Québécois
“The Constitution is clear that job training and labour belong to Quebec and the provinces. The Liberals are acting like these constitutional boundaries do not exist.”
“Mr. Speaker, Halloween is coming up, and I think I just figured out what to go as. I am going to dress up as a unicorn, because I am getting the impression this evening that the Liberals are inhabiting a fantasy land. The Constitution appears to pose no problem whatsoever. Everything is fuzzy; boundaries melt away. Nevertheless, it is clear that workforce training, employment and labour fall under the jurisdiction of Quebec and the provinces. That is the answer. I have worked in both Parliament and the National Assembly. I was not a member of the National Assembly, just an assistant, but it was enough for me to be clear on who does what. All I have to do is read the Constitution to know that. When the member for Longueuil—Saint-Hubert told me that he has never seen any attempt to interfere, I knew exactly what my Halloween costume would be: I am going to dress up as a unicorn.”
