Points Of Order February 24th, 2000
Madam Speaker, I appreciate your impartiality and your patience.
This morning, I read an article on Bill C-20 from the Canadian Press, dated February 21, 2000 and entitled “Ottawa to Neutralize Quebec on International Scene”. It is a summary of a speech made by anthropologist Claude Baribeau, of Laval University. The document will certainly enlighten the members opposite.
I ask for unanimous consent to table the document.

What about clarity?
Point Of Order February 23rd, 2000
Mr. Speaker, I would like to reassure my colleagues, the intergovernmental affairs minister, and the hon. member for Papineau—Saint-Denis. I will not be talking about the scandal in the human resources development department.
I would like to have the unanimous consent of the House to table an article condemning Bill C-20 because it is denying the basic rights of Quebecers. It was published in Le Soleil on February 20, 2000, under the title “Referendum Clarity”.
