-are not words from all over the place, these are the words of the Quebec justice minister, who, I wager, will be in the Leader of the Opposition's caucus soon. He said that Quebecers do not hold a referendum because they lost the first one and think they could score better three weeks later. These are the words of the Quebec justice minister.
What is important is that we remember the words of the Leader of the Opposition the evening he talked about the results. He said that the referendum debate had demonstrated Quebecers' discipline, political maturity and their profound attachment to democratic values, and that the wishes and democratic vote of Quebecers deserved respect.
We cannot chose a white race, like the Leader of the Opposition did. We must respect the vote of all Quebecers. Let us hope he will do so.
