A fine competition. Yesterday, the Minister of Finance told us that an upcoming amendment, not yet tabled, would provide for mutual agreement in establishing the criterion for the imposition of the standards. The expression is very vague. I would ask the Prime Minister to tell us what he means by mutual agreement. Does the government mean the necessary approval of all the provinces or, as with the patriation of the constitution in 1982, will a majority of the provinces suffice?
In the House of Commons on May 3rd, 1995. See this statement in context.
