Mr. Speaker, everyone will have understood what the Prime Minister means by flexible federalism: the provinces bend and the federal government invades their jurisdiction.
How can the Prime Minister be indignant and get all hot under the collar about the $2 million which Quebec will spend on consulting its citizens when his own government is getting ready to spend $35 million on tourism advertising to promote his beautiful Canada, $7 million more for promoting Canadian unity and $6 million more for the Privy Council and its federal strategy on the referendum?
