Mr. Speaker, on December 7, 1994, in answer to a question regarding the extent to which the justice minister had consulted with the provincial attorneys general on Bill C-68, the justice minister stated in the House:
Consultation was engaged continuously with officials in the offices of every provincial and territorial attorneys general, every one of them.
The attorneys general of Saskatchewan, Alberta and Yukon have flatly denied there was any serious consultation, let alone continuous consultation.
Will the justice minister explain the enormous contradiction between his statement to the House and the declarations of these attorneys general?
