  • Re: Bill C-14 
Mr. Speaker, I listened carefully to the speech by my colleague from Saanich—Gulf Islands. I would like her to explain something. On March 2, the Bloc Québécois moved a motion that my colleague supported. The motion sought to maintain Quebec's political weight and not have it lose a seat. The Bloc Québécois then presented Bill C‑246, which was along the same lines as the motion that my colleague supported, but she voted against it. Today, the government is trying to salvage the situation with Bill C‑14. This bill seeks to preserve the number of seats, but not the political weight, because other seats could be added for other provinces outside Quebec. I would like my colleague to explain why she voted for the Bloc Québécois motion and then voted against the Bloc Québécois bill.
