Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Quebec government began to put forward in legislative terms its vision of a sovereign Quebec. Canadians are now expecting the federal government will be putting forward in clearer terms its vision of the federalist option which can be used to counter separatist sentiments in Quebec and to challenge discontented federalists across the country.
Can the Deputy Prime Minister share briefly with the House the essence of the federalist option with which the government proposes to counter the narrow separatist vision?
