Honestly, do we ask Jean Charest where he bought his pot from? If the person who sold him pot had links to criminals.

I accept with humility and with great enthusiasm the mandate you have given me.

What I want to tell you is I made mistakes, things I regret. Yes, I consumed. I can't be clearer than that.

I think that from this political situation, new reality will emerge. And I think that Quebecers will be able to realize sovereignty and do it with the support we need from foreign countries.

Some people reproach me for talking like a politician, others say I'm too raw. I just try to communicate as simply as possible.

Mrs. Jean was not participating in a private event. Mrs. Jean was participating in a public event, televised, taped.

I feel that our case today is much better than it was in 1995.

I've never had problems of consumption. I have never been in a situation where I was under the influence of anything when I carried out my responsibilities as a member of the legislature or as a cabinet minister.

I think Mr. Landry took what he believes to be the best decision for the party, for sovereignty and for Quebec. We have spoken a lot about the past contributions of Mr. Landry but I would like to say today that Bernard Landry can still do a lot for Quebec and sovereignty in the future.
