Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Finance.
The Premier of Quebec and leader of the Yes side clearly expressed his intention to continue to use the Canadian dollar once Quebec achieves sovereignty. He also committed a sovereign Quebec to assuming its share of the enormous Canadian debt.
Does the Minister of Finance not believe that he too should be clear and, rather than allow uncertainty to pervade the financial community, he should indicate that he has in fact prepared a plan "B", should the yes side win on October 30, as it likely will, which he has stubbornly refused to confirm up to now?
