On the contrary, Mr. Speaker. The Prime Minister's statement in Verdun on October 24 was as follows, and I quote; "We will keep open all the other roads to change, including administrative and constitutional means. Any changes in constitutional jurisdiction will only be made with the consent of Quebecers", while the Leader of the Opposition said, and I quote: "While he talks about the Constitution, we will look after jobs".
When asked whether he would sign any deal he said: "No, it is not possible. I am a sovereignist". The person who is off the wall on this is not the Prime Minister; it is the Leader of the Opposition.
