Mr. Speaker, the interim leader of the Conservative Party recently found a new political orientation for himself.
He said to the Laval Chamber of Commerce that his new constitutional position is now called «shared sovereignty».
This statement contrasts sharply with the philosophy and the action taken by the previous government, of which he was a member. We ask ourselves several questions today: Are there now two sovereignist parties in this House?
Is that new constitutional position supported by more than 50 per cent of the Conservative caucus?
Is there a connection between his about-face and his recent discussions with his former boss, Mr. Mulroney?
Canadians no longer trust these politicians who change their opinions on the basis of opinion polls. If the hon. member really wants to contribute to the referendum debate that is about to begin, he should first decide on which side he wants to be.
