Mr. Speaker, the Deputy Prime Minister takes a very short view of history. We know that Newfoundland held more than one referendum before becoming part of Canada. In that case, it was all right, but in Quebec's case, the usual double standard applies.
Since the Prime Minister must be aware that the vast majority of Quebecers have massively rejected his so-called offers, are we to understand that the only way the Prime Minister thinks he can win the next referendum is by taking control of the process himself, thus ignoring the National Assembly?
