Mr. Speaker, the time to approve these changes would have been in Charlottetown. Unfortunately the leader of the third party did not approve them. There was a lot of discussion at the time on questions such as those. The leader of the third party chose to oppose Charlottetown.
At present the question we face is not the approval of Charlottetown. At present the question we face is the possible separation of the province of Quebec from the rest of Canada.
The burden of proof is on the separatists, and the separatists have not discharged the burden of proof. They have not given us a single good reason why Quebec should get out of the federation. That is what we must hammer at until the vote on Monday.
