I love life too much to be bitter.

If living in France bothers some people, they should feel free to leave the country.

Not to intermarry racially is bad for the survival of the country.

If you come to France and you wear a veil, if you go to one of the administrative buildings, then that's not acceptable. If you don't want your wife to be examined by a male doctor, then you're not welcome here. France is a country that's open.

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.

Come, and the only limits to what you'll be able to achieve will be your own courage and your own talent.

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.
