Mr. Speaker, I listened in particular to the last part of the MP's speech. He knows his Canadian history. He knows the recent history of Quebec since Charlottetown and Meech. English Canada has said no to Quebec several times.
Does he not think that the people of Quebec, one of Canada's founding peoples, have a legitimate claim to this 25 per cent guarantee? I think that Quebec's request is quite modest. There is almost unanimous support for it, and I fail to understand why the hon. member from western Canada wants to completely ignore, under false pretexts, Quebec's legitimate request. I sincerely hope that he will explain the reason why.
