Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister just quoted Mr. René Lévesque. However, I am sure he will remember, the day after the 1980 referendum, that Mr. Lévesque accepted the people's decision. He did not see it as just a consultation, a point of view. He agreed and bowed to the people's wishes, while the Prime Minister reneged on commitments he made to get a No from Quebecers in 1980.
In the House of Commons on September 19th, 1995. See this statement in context.
