History shows that unanimity is impossible when it comes to constitutional amendments or the reform of Canadian institutions. Can the political parties reach a consensus, even two of the three parties? I don't know. Is there a consensus among the public? It is possible.
I do not under estimate the difficulty of the constitutional amendment mechanism. However, we did not introduce Bill C-20. This bill presents a problem that affects us and to which we are reacting. I cannot say that these are easy issues or ones that elicit great public interest, particularly not in June.
