Madam Speaker, I would like to start by thanking my colleague and congratulating him on his French. I see that he has made an effort and I truly appreciate it. About what he said after that, of course, people in a democracy should be properly represented. The problem is when you consider a nation or a people as a province. Quebec has unique needs. Its culture is different, its language is different and it has a different way of looking at the economy, a different way of looking at how we use oil, and a different way of fighting climate change. These differences must be acknowledged, because Quebec is not a province. Quebec is a nation, and it deserves to be heard.
