After making himself comfortable, the President addressed her question.
"Our proud and unique Québecois heritage is built upon three fundamental societal groups; French-speaking settlers, natives tribes and other groups from all corners of the world. Such a mixture of different cultures is clearly expressed through our diverse cuisine and music, for instance. It hasn't always been easy and perfect making sure that peace and harmony exist between all people, but the end result today is based on a political concept created by the early architects of our welfare state. Known as the "People's home", it can be summarised in one quote dear to many hearts: "The good home knows no privileged or misfortuned, no favorites or undesired. There no one looks down on the other. There none try to gain benefits on the others expense, the strong do not oppress and plunder the weak. In the good home reigns equality, kindness, cooperation, helpfulness." In short, Quebec declares itself to be an "indivisible, secular, democratic, and social Republic". All of this is built upon a diversified and post-industrial economy, where substantial natural resources such as hydroelectricity, forestry, and mining, have also long been a mainstay. Finally, we're fanatics when it boils down to maple syrup, comedy and ice hockey."
Maximilien finished the question with a smile.
