Mr. Speaker, throughout the Quebec referendum campaign Reformers have made every effort to show Quebecers that Canada is open to real change, change that is not founded in the exaggerated promises of the separatists and change that is not found in symbolic constitutional amendments.
We want a no vote on Monday to mean a mandate for a new Confederation, a decentralization of power and the reform of federal institutions. Reformers and provincial governments are going to work for those changes. The tens of thousands of Canadians who are going to Montreal will work for those changes.
On the eve of the Quebec vote, does the federal government have anything more substantive and constructive to say on its agenda for change, something that would persuade a soft sovereignist or a discontented federalist to vote no on October 30?
