Mr. Speaker, Quebec's premier in waiting has said that he will not hold another referendum until 1997. That seems to be good news for this do nothing government.
A recent poll found that if a Quebec referendum were held today the yes side would win with almost 55 per cent. This is an outright condemnation of the Liberals' post-referendum strategy. What is more, 55 per cent of Quebecers reject the symbolic changes which the Prime Minister is offering, while a strong majority, as high as 85 per cent, want to see a transfer of powers to the provinces.
Since constitutional change is not an option and since Quebecers will reject the symbolic changes, when will the Prime Minister introduce concrete measures to transfer real power to the provinces?
