Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs having stated his intent to introduce a draft bill undermining the basic human rights of Quebecers, I ask for the unanimous consent of the House to table a document that should answer some of the questions the House might have. It is a document entitled “Chantier de réflexion sur la citoyenneté et la démocratie”.

Reform

Jay Hill Reform Prince George—Peace River, BC

Mr. Speaker, I just remind the Chair, the House and the viewing audience today that we are dealing with a very important piece of legislation, Bill C-9, an act to implement the Nisga'a treaty. Time allocation has been called on this legislation. British Columbians' voices have gone largely unheard during debate. I have some colleagues who are waiting their turn to get their points made on this legislation on the last day that they will have a chance to debate the legislation.

If the Bloc Quebecois intend to go on with this all afternoon, will it agree to sit tonight and add those hours to the debate on Bill C-9 so that debate can go on?

Ghislain Lebel Bloc Chambly, QC

Mr. Speaker, I am sure the minister reacted too quickly when he turned down our request for unanimous consent. The document I want to table with the unanimous consent of the House will certainly be reflected in some of the answers he will be giving us in the future. It is in his best interest to allow me to table it.

It was written by a reporter who is on his side. The document is entitled “The 53.1416% question”.

Mr. Speaker, now that the Prime Minister has announced his intention to introduce a bill negating Quebec's fundamental rights, I would like to table a list of auto dealers for the benefit of the President of the Treasury Board, who will soon have to give up her limousine.

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister having announced his intention to introduce a bill negating Quebec's fundamental rights, I ask the unanimous consent of the House to table a very informative document.

Mr. Speaker, I have here a story from the December 11, 1999 issue of Le Droit , which clearly indicates how the government intends to stop Quebecers from deciding freely their own future.

I am asking for the unanimous consent of the House to table this document which will—
