Mr. Speaker, according to a Gallup poll released today, fewer than 40 per cent of people living in English Canada are in favour of recognizing Quebec as a distinct society, and barely 10 per cent are in favour of reopening the Constitution to add the right of veto.
In light of these results, will the Deputy Prime Minister admit that, when the Prime Minister promised changes to Quebecers on October 24, it was only to sweeten the pot during the referendum campaign and he was well aware that these changes would be unacceptable to English Canada?
