Mr. Speaker, I do not know if the Prime Minister realizes that his government is imposing, once again, negotiating terms on Quebec that can only lead to failure, since he is offering to withdraw from manpower training provided that Quebec signs an agreement confirming the federal government's role in the area of manpower and job training, which is totally unacceptable to Quebec. And the Prime Minister knows it.
In the House of Commons on March 19th, 1996. See this statement in context.
