Mr. Speaker, I have listened to members across the way cry out with self-righteous and sanctimonious indignation about the need for a code to govern freedom of speech in the Chamber. Perhaps they should start with their own party.
Recent remarks made yesterday by the minister of fisheries and by the Deputy Prime Minister about members of the Reform Party have reached an all-time low. The Deputy Prime Minister stated publicly that the Reform Party wanted Quebec out of Confederation. This is not only totally untrue but it is so untrue that it is offensive. We are communicating in the newspapers with one million Quebecers this week on our proposals for decentralization which will contribute to national unity.
If the Deputy Prime Minister wishes to do something positive for national unity, she should stop misrepresenting the views of loyal Canadians.
