Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister. In a prereferendum speech to the Metropolitan Quebec Chamber of Commerce, the Minister of Foreign Affairs said, and I quote: "-no one in Canada is going to discuss the status quo. There will be no more status quo. There will be major changes-".
Does this statement by the Minister of Foreign Affairs mean that the Prime Minister has changed his mind and that his government will now support major changes in the way federalism operates, this after doggedly defending the status quo?
