Mr. Speaker, these reforms will affect all workers in Canada. The impact will be exactly the same in all provinces, including Quebec, so this can hardly be used to argue that we are going to treat Quebec workers differently from workers in other provinces. The reform will be exactly the same, and, as I explained earlier, we have been working on this program for a long, long time.
We never knew the exact date of the referendum. In fact, we expected a referendum in June. Now, according to the latest news, it will not necessarily be October 30. I do not know. The writs have not been issued. So the Minister of Human Resources Development is not operating in terms of the potential date of a referendum that is not yet official.
We know there is considerable debate among the Yes side on whether or not they should go ahead. In any case, we are ready, and Canada will win.
