What is depressing is the failure to act, the indifference, and the negligence of the federal government for everything that touches our seaway,

We intend to support the government if what it asks us to do respects our basic principles and the interests of Quebec. If the government respects those conditions, we will try to let it function for a good while.

even if the act was not a knowing act it was done under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to human life.

One of the functions of government is to act as a safeguard not just of property but of our liberties.

The federal standards are simply not good enough. If we can't get the federal government to act, then we have to take action in any way we can.

This is totally inadequate. This should be treated as a national calamity, like an earthquake, and the government should act in the same way.
