Mr. Speaker, the Leader of the Opposition has decided to depart this chamber for Quebec City. He is going to prepare for one last attempt to take Quebec out of the federation.
The task in this chamber is to prepare the case for federalism and to do so with a clarity and a vision that was completely missing from the last referendum campaign. In the dying days of that campaign, the Prime Minister belatedly promised to fundamentally change the way the federal government operates. He promised quick action.
Is the Prime Minister ready to act? What action does the Prime Minister propose to fundamentally change the way federalism operates so as to strengthen the case for federalism like it has never been strengthened before?
