Mr. Speaker, last Tuesday, the Leader of the Official Opposition was asked this question:
"Is it even theoretically possible that premier Bouchard could sign any deal which would see Quebec remain in Confederation?"
Mr. Bouchard replied: "No, that is impossible, I am a sovereignist".
In that case, I fail to see why the official opposition or the hon. member for Roberval would ask about the ways in which we are trying to deal with the current problem, since they have already said that, in the circumstances, they are not interested and that their only objective is to destroy the federation.
