My friends, we shall dare once again. From now, we dare putting at the forefront of public debate the question of the political future of Quebec.
My friends, we shall dare once again. From now, we dare putting at the forefront of public debate the question of the political future of Quebec.


We shall dare say to our fellow citizens that the Quebec people has a task to finish; that we must complete the journey that our predecessors so valiantly carried out up to where we are now. We shall dare say to ourselves that all depends on us, on our solidarity, on our imagination, on our determination. We shall dare say to Quebecers that we must end the waste of our energy and devote all our strength and all our resources to our national development. We shall dare point out the Quebec values of democracy, welcome, compassion, warmth, pride in our history and determination to be last. We shall dare continue to explain our project to English Canada and hold out the hand of the partner we want to be. But we shall also dare to cross the glance of misunderstanding, strong of the legitimacy of our project. We shall dare behave as a people that nobody shall be able to make guilty to want to affirm itself and take its place at the sides of others.

It shall be difficult, yes. But it shall be much more difficult if we do nothing. It is much easier to lift our heads, to look up and to choose by ourselves our future than to be subjected to the one others impose upon us.
