Mr. Speaker, the leader of the Conservative Party asked me what the point of the Bloc Québécois is. I think that question shows contempt for Quebeckers. Although I disagree with the Bloc Québécois and the way it is constantly trying to pick fights, Quebeckers in many ridings voted for Bloc Québécois members, who are just doing their job here in the House of Commons. We saw this same contempt for Quebeckers shown to mayors Marchand and Plante. It is something we see from the Conservative Party all the time. The fact is, we all have a job to do, and we do it here in the House.

Mr. Speaker, this is another very clear display of the Conservative Party's contempt not only for Quebeckers, but also for democracy. I have spent my entire political career fighting for federalism in Quebec and for a united Canada, quite often against the Bloc Québécois. However, I have always had a deep respect for anyone who runs for office to serve their community and to be elected to the House of Commons. The Conservatives' contempt for democracy should be worrisome to Quebeckers and to all Canadians.
