We French-canadians Belong To One Country, Canada:

I Claim For Canada This, That In Future Canada Shall Be At Liberty To Act Or Not Act, To Interfere Or Not Interfere, To Do Just As She Pleases, And That She Shall Reserve To Herself The Right To Judge Whether Or Not There Is Cause For Her To Act.

Why, So Soon As French Canadians, Who Are In The Minority In This House And In The Country, Were To Organize As A Political Party, They Would Compel The Majority To Organize As A Political Party, And The Result Must Be Disastrous To Themselves.

It Is A Sound Principle Of Finance, And A Still Sounder Principle Of Government, That Those Who Have The Duty Of Expending The Revenue Of A Country Should Also Be Saddled With The Responsibility Of Levying And Providing It.

For Us, Sons Of France, Political Sentiment Is A Passion; While, For The Englishmen, Politics Are A Question Of Business.

Whether Splendidly Isolated Or Dangerously Isolated, I Will Not Now Debate; But For My Part, I Think Splendidly Isolated, Because The Isolation Of England Comes From Her Superiority.
