Mr. Speaker, briefly, I appreciate the hon. member's comments but I find that there are certain contradictions in clause 12 of this bill, which have been pointed out by the critic for our party. Furthermore, practice and experience have shown us that, even where there are clauses to forbid federal interference in provincial matters, the federal level retains the spending power, which it sometimes uses to interfere unduly in provincial matters.
In the House of Commons on November 6th, 1995. See this statement in context.
