Mr. Speaker, I am not sure that changes in the structure of the Bank of Canada would really have an effect on the referendum. However, I agree with the hon. member that the spirit of change which has been seen in the federal government very clearly over the last few years is an important element.
The Prime Minister, in his speech last night, talked about the acceptance of a distinct society. He talked about the right of veto and he indicated that the decentralization which was in the last budget and in the program review is an essential part of what this government wants to do.
We have to conclude that we have already started to change. That is a fact. The relationship between the federal government and the provinces is evolving all the time. We have clearly indicated our intention to change.
