Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Prime Minister pleaded with Canadians to support his Quebec package of Mulroney leftovers: distinct society and constitutional veto. However the government does not have the courage to let those very same Canadians vote directly on the package. Instead of trusting Canadians, the Prime Minister has decided to ram the proposals through Parliament.
Because the government will not trust the Canadian people with the country's future, will it at the very least call off the Liberal whip and allow a free vote on the Prime Minister's Quebec package?
