Congratulations to you all Prom Ottawa Alex Shepher d, MP Durham Imagine a country wbo's leaders want to keep tbe nation united and the separatists caîl this a conspira- cy. That's the nonsense comning from Jacques Parizeau's mouth. What's worse is the number of provincial premiers wbo say no such plan exists. No plan to kecep tbe Country togetber? 1 would bave tbought a plan cxisîed. If there is flot there sbould be one and no one sbould be asbamned to admit it. Parizeaus actions of the last week indicate just bow bankrupt the separatists are. (Speaking of bankrupt tbey are the only province in Canada not dealing with thecir debt problemn. The separatists wil blame this on Canada as well.) It's odd tbat in tbe area of cdu- cation - something that constitu- tionally faîls exclusively witbin provincial jurisdiction - Quebec's were on display. Tbis 28 foot mahogany beauty was for sale on tbe weekend. drop out rate is bigher than any other province. Can't tbe PQ deal with that problem instead of running around the media inventing conspiracy tbe- ories to fi newspaper- space. And ail of us are guoing to get stuck witbi the bill for tlie millions of dollars spent bolding a referen- dum. Tbe rest of' Canada does not w,,ant to negotiate more power for tbie province of Queb1ec. If there aire conspirators out thiere it is Bo uchard and Parizeau.

Thelir iony in tbis Situation is tbat the people who are trying to keep this country united wouid be better off economricaily wý,itbiout Qulebýec drainîng the tax dollars. No formn of mnagicalI accounting, and I've seen tbem ail, can bide the fact that Quebec bas been a maýjor net-economnic ben,2factor in con- federation. As the referendumn approaches 1 know tbe people of DUrbaM \will want to bave a) greater say in wbat's going on. Tt isn't going to be decided inside Quebec. 1 amn pleased to bave invited tbe Hon. Lucienne Robillard, Minister of Labour and Minister Responsible 'for tbe Quebc Referendum to Durbami on Saturday, September 23 to mecet witb conlstituýents.
