Sovereign Quebec would be protected from BSE fallout: Duceppe
CBC || December 16, 2005
Bloc Quebecois Leader Gilles Duceppe says a sovereign Quebec would be spared the fallout of any future cases of mad cow disease in Canada.
Speaking to farmers east of Montreal on Monday, Duceppe said that during the most recent mad cow crisis, Mexico was spared international bans on its beef because it is a separate country from Canada and the United States.
Quebec would have been protected in the same way if the province were independent, he said while campaigning for the Jan. 23 federal election.
Duceppe said Liberal Leader Paul Martin has refused to entertain the creation of trade zone "fire walls."
He added these trade-zone fire walls would have shielded Quebec and other provinces from the fallout of mad cow, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy.
