Mr. Speaker, in a few days, Quebec will be celebrating and will be celebrated. Quebec will be proudly celebrated in song, in dance and in words, as well as in the tributes to the great Jean-Pierre Ferland and the great Karl Tremblay, who have sadly left us. Quebec will celebrate each and every person who has contributed over the past four centuries to the diversity of a francophone nation in America, a nation founded on the lands of the first nations who had been breathing life into the continent for millennia and would breathe life into the country that would be. Let us celebrate our country and its caring people. Let us celebrate our generous and welcoming nation, a nation of solidarity, a nation with its heart in the right place. Let us celebrate the French language, which only brings us closer together the more it is imperilled, the language that unites our way of life. My friends, let us celebrate our Quebec, which is certainly a country in the making, and let us cheerfully make this a truly national holiday. Happy national holiday to all Quebeckers.
