They want a secure and prosperous future for themselves and for the young people of tomorrow. To ensure their future, the people of Quebec must take their destiny back into their own hands. In this context, the mandate for sovereignty that Quebecers will be giving their government next Monday must not be construed as a rejection of Canada, but rather as the will to assume responsibility for themselves. Over the years, the people of Quebec and Canada have developed strong bonds of friendship, and they have many interests in common. A partnership would be in everyone's best interests, since more than 300,000 jobs on each side are at stake.
Partnerships are clearly the way of the future.
On October 30, Quebecers will not only take their destiny into their own hands but also hold out a friendly hand to their Canadian partners. After countless press 15804 conferences and all kinds of protests, the French speaking community of Ontario is now mobilizing and organizing a rally to be held tomorrow at La Cit coll giale, in Ottawa. This rally will be an opportunity to proudly show that the French language is alive and well in Ontario and that La Francophonie wants Quebec to remain in Canada. Mr. Speaker, yesterday in a speech to thousands of supporters of the no side, the Prime Minister told Quebecers that he is not opposed to future change in Canada if they vote no. The Reform Party has long called for renewed federalism without constitutional change.
