Mr. Speaker, at least now we know that the Minister of Labour shares Clyde Wells' definition of a distinct society, as does the Prime Minister. Fine then. It goes over very well here in the House, but far less well in Quebec, as the minister is aware.
The people who are getting worried at this point are Daniel Johnson and Pierre Paradis, not those in the yes camp. Those in the same camp as her, her former colleagues if she can still remember.
Would the Minister of Labour have the courage to be frank with her friends in the yes group, her former colleagues, telling them that should there be a no vote on the referendum the predictable outcome of the 1977 constitutional negotiations will again be a resounding failure, as the good buddy of the Prime Minister, and
the new-found buddy of the Minister of Labour, the ineffable Clyde Wells, has clearly stated?
