On The Same Day I Was Sworn

To Suggest That Quebecers Willingly Give Up The Chance To Exercise Fully Their Influence Within The Federal Government Would Be To Betray The Historical Role Quebec Has Always Played In Confederation, And To Undermine The Legitimacy Of Their Pride And Ambitions.

For Me, Unemployment And Poverty In The Greater Montreal Area Is Not Mainly A Problem Of Structure, Or Design, Or Statistics. It Is A Profoundly Human Situation.

I Know Quebecers Don't Want To Relive Old Battles; They Prefer To Build For The Future.

For Over 20 Years, The Federal And Provincial Governments Have Made Enormous Efforts Employing A Variety Of Approaches In An Attempt To Stimulate Montreal's Economy.

There Is No Greater Honour Than To Serve Canadians.
