Mr. Speaker, last night this country came within a hair's breadth of breaking apart. Fortunately the no side scraped through, but it was thanks to the last-minute efforts of the Canadian public, not to the strategy of the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister and the no side strategists woefully underestimated Quebec's deep desire for change, and up until 10 days ago were still trying to sell the status quo with a little administrative tinkering. These gross miscalculations almost cost us the country.
My question is to the Prime Minister. Three months ago the Prime Minister did not have an adequate plan to keep this country together. He did not have one last night. Does he have one today?
