Mr. Speaker, the federal government's reaction to Premier Parizeau's draft bill on Quebec sovereignty has been unfocused and even confusing.
The Prime Minister is quoted as saying his strategy is to win the referendum battle but he does not say which referendum, having dismissed Mr. Parizeau's referendum plan. The government seems very reluctant to comment on the illegality or legality of what is proposed or to point out specific flaws in the Parizeau plan.
Section 5 of the draft sovereignty bill states Quebec citizenship may be held concurrently with citizenship of Canada or any other country.
Does the Prime Minister accept this position, yes or no? If he does not, why does he not say so?
