Mr. Speaker, in our opinion, neither the form nor the content of the draft bill presented yesterday complies with Quebec's referendum legislation, which requires parity among the parties. As Mr. Johnson clearly showed yesterday, Mr. Parizeau's law does not provide for regional commissions where the various parties are represented equally. As for the substance, once again, they talk about the process even before the consequence of the process leading to separation has been put to a referendum.
