It is a move that has been expected ever since former Quebec Premier Jacques Parizeau made his fatal post-referendum remarks.
Nor should it contie as any shock that separatists believe this transition will result in another referendum within the next two years.
What should shock and upset us is the control a party representing the interests of a single province has over the political landsca{>e of our entire nation.
When the Bloc Quebecois first arrived on Parliament Hill, they vowed to voice the needs of Quebecers and to make separation their priority, regardless of other pressing issues. Along with their provincial counterparts, they held the country c^tive while they
plotted to break it up (a process which will not end until the party supposedly in power acts on the subject).
But now that die referendum is over, (admittedly many problems remain) they are threatening to completely alter that landscape again. Reform Leader Preston Manning has said if Bouchard resigns he will ask House Speaker Gilbert I^rent to recognize his party as the official opposition. At least one odier
Bloc MP, other than Bouchard,' would have to leave before diis could happen, but that is also a likeUhood. The Reform Party is fundamentally opposed to much of what the Bloc, in the name of
Quebec, stands for. This won't solve any of the problems; it will simply give the bigger
mouthpiece to the other side, that is Reform. The problem here lies in allowing parties that represent such a limited geogrq)hic sec-
tion of tiie country to become the official opposition, or even come to power. We need to take steps to ensure that m order for a party to be in either of those situations, they have to have at least some support .from all areas of the country.
