Mr. Speaker, I want to ask for the member's comment on something that was said by the prior speaker about the issue of timing.
The letter regarding the day after was issued just prior to the referendum. Yet the question in the referendum referred to an offer to be made to the federal government if there was a vote. This means that the timing to negotiate and consider an offer clearly allowed more than enough time to consider the necessity to discuss matters with the military.
This is a total contradiction in terms of the time line. It is why this matter should be discussed in committee, so that the details and the facts can get out.
