Mr. Speaker, the Liberal Party of Canada teamed up with the previous government on the late Charlottetown Accord. The Liberal government, for its part, has still not said whether it intends to reimburse Quebec for the $26 million taxpayers paid twice for this referendum. That is probably the new type of harmonization this government carries out on the backs of the provinces.
Does the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs not admit that, before getting into a new, hypothetical referendum scenario to put Quebec in its place again, the federal government should pay off its debts before anything else?
