A debate where the Bloc Québécois tried to pick a fight about Quebec sovereignty and the Liberals accused them of sowing division. Mostly just political posturing and bickering without much substance.
“The Bloc likes to cause trouble and fights. We want Canadians to see us as focused on important things. It's going well.”
“Quebeckers all agree they should decide for themselves. Will the government defend Quebec's right to make its own choices?”
“I will not let you use this to stir up division. We should work together on trade instead.”
