I love life too much to be bitter.

The French people need to have all the facts so they can choose. And I won't be running away from it or hiding from it.

I committed myself totally, fully, but I didn't succeed in convincing a majority of French... I didn't succeed in making the values we share win.

I am not a man of my party. I do not talk only to socialists and union leaders.

Canadians are friends and Quebecers are my family. What France knows deep down is that within this great Canadian people, there is a Quebec nation. I do not see how proving my family, brotherly love for Quebec should be strengthened by defying Canada.

I fought for the values of responsibility, and I'm not a man who does not accept his responsibilities.

You won't hear from me again.
