Mr. Speaker, just four days before the vote is held, the Prime Minister of Canada is still beating around the bush about recognizing the referendum results.
If 51 per cent of the population vote no, that is a good result, but if 51 per cent vote yes, that is a different story. The Prime Minister of Canada is out full time on the referendum campaign trail, and he will be voting on Monday. He is taking part in the referendum, yet he still refuses to commit to recognizing a yes victory.
There is nothing more democratic than a referendum in our society, and Quebecers will not tolerate having their choice put down.
On Monday, the majority of Quebecers will vote yes. This strong yes will show that they are united and stand as one. It will ensure that, as a sovereign people, their laws and values will be respected.
