Mr. Speaker, I welcome the question.
President Clinton clearly said that Monday's vote is a domestic issue. It is for Canadians to decide. However, the president also said that his country hopes to maintain relations with a strong and united Canada. I have no doubt that, after Monday's vote, Canada will remain united and strong.
As for the other part of the question, I fully agree with the opinion expressed by the hon. member.
The question of trading arrangements in the context of sovereignty will be the one described by the hon. member.
