I understand, but we are here to say that we understand what Minister Pelletier was stating at the time. Indeed, he wrote that caution must be used in granting authorities to the National Capital Commission. I have no difficulty with the concept that it may be constitutional, but clearly this would be a way of superceding the Government of Quebec's authority. We are saying to the Conservatives that if they recognize the Quebec nation, they should do so fully and not prevent it from having the right to intervene when the National Capital Commission chooses to expand its land mass. You will have to negotiate with the Government of Quebec. Obviously, there is no written document providing for negotiations with the Government of Quebec.
