Mr. Speaker, one year ago to the day, Quebecers voted on their future. We remember the result, a very slim win for the federalists, a win that changed nothing. We also remember the Prime Minister's promises in Verdun, just days before the referendum, meaningless promises that were never acted on. Since then, there has been an impasse, both in Quebec and in Canada.
Does the Prime Minister realize that, as the years go by and Quebec calls repeatedly for more power, so that it can be master of its own destiny, the offers made by the federal government and other provinces are shrinking almost to the point of insignificance?
