Mr. Speaker, there are competing visions in the country of where Canada should be headed after the Quebec referendum.
One side represented by the government wants to go back to elements of the failed Meech Lake and Charlottetown accords. The other side represented by Reform and some provincial governments wants to move forward to decentralize certain key social functions of the federal government while strengthening the economic union at the same time.
Now a special committee of cabinet has been set up to design a post-referendum strategy. My question to the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs is: What is the national unity committee of cabinet doing to ensure this alternative federalist vision is being considered, and what minister in the cabinet represents that position?
