Mr. Speaker, remarks by the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister reveal their contempt for the principles of fairness and unity.
While the Reform Party leader advanced a vision of Canada with Quebec, it was the Prime Minister who proved to be the most destructive force in the "neverendum" referendum.
Last night the Prime Minister compared the slim no vote victory to a hockey game where one team wins by a goal. The coach should be fired. This team went into the third period with a nine-point lead and almost blew it.
The Deputy Prime Minister praised the Liberal do nothing campaign in Quebec and the efforts of their Mulroney soul mate from Sherbrooke. She also attacked her opponents as being vultures. In fact the only vultures that will be seen will be those across the way, hovering over the discredited leader of the Liberal Party as they look to replace him.
Still, this type of Liberal Party tactic does not surprise Canadians because, as they know, if it looks like a rat, if it walks like a rat and if it squeals like a rat, it is a member of the Liberal rat pack.
