Policy Statement 
 | 2008 election 
 
Dear Quebeckers,Stephen Harper has called an early election anddone the exact opposite o what he had promisedyou on May 26, 2006: “...[F]ixed election datesstop leaders rom trying to manipulate the calen-dar simply or partisan political advantage..” Thatstatement is worth remembering in the pollingbooth.The Bloc Québécois will make the most o theConservative leader’s decision toorce an election in orderto discuss unda-mental issuesand ultimatelyask you tomake a un-damentalchoice orQuébec’suture bychoosingbetweenCanadianpartiesand theBloc Qué-bécois,Québec’sonly voice inOttawa.

Can the Canadian parties and their leaders betrusted to represent Québec in Ottawa? Can theConservative Party be trusted, when StephenHarper unhesitatingly goes back on his word,outs the rules o democracy and tries to muz-zle the media, the opposition and even his ownMPs?

The Bloc Québécois represents the expressiono the popular will, a key characteristic o anydemocracy. Our team delivers solid oppositionor eective inuence. That’s why, election aterelection, Quebeckers choose to send a majority oBloc Québécois MPs to represent them in Ottawa.Because we can say:

We must also ensure that the Québec nation isrespected in Ottawa. Only a team and a leaderthat put Québec ahead o all else can ensure thatQuebeckers are respected in Ottawa. That’s whatthe Bloc Québécois is all about. When it comesto ensuring that consensuses reached in Qué-bec, our identity, our values and our interestsare respected, only the Bloc Québécois can say:
Prs r Qb! 
Like their Liberal predecessors, the Conserva-tives have ailed to respect Québec. The Harpergovernment reused to take action to protect theFrench language and has made some disas-trous decisions or our economy, ourregions and Québec culture.
 
A Matter of Repet

We are compelled to raise a crucial issue thatconcerns the society in which we wish to live. Theideological vision o Stephen Harper’s Conserva-tives is inspired by that o George W. Bush. It’sa vision that conditions all o their decisions. Itis important to remember that Stephen Harperwanted to drag Canada into the war in Iraq backin 2003. Like George W. Bush, Stephen Harperwanted to sabotage Kyoto; he stood up or the oilindustry rather than or the environment.And Stephen Harper would like to impose thisideology without reservation on Canada and Qué-bec at a time when our American neighbours aregetting ready to rid themselves o the Bush Ad-ministration. Stephen’s party is on the wrong sideo history – his party is living in the past.

I we are to impose respect or Québec in Ottawa,we cannot let Stephen Harper’s Conservativeswin a majority.We are living in the present and acting pragmati-cally in harmony with Québec.A strong contingent o Bloc Québécois MPs inOttawa is the best possible outcome o this elec-tion or Québec.

Our team strongly believes that sovereignty is theonly possible avenue or a nation such as Québecthat aspires to political reedom.We also know that we must move Québec orwardimmediately so that we can continue the workdone by our predecessors and guarantee uturegenerations a boundless and promising uture.That’s what the Bloc Québécois is oering you.The only team that can say it is:
