Mr. Speaker, those same business leaders, in many instances federalists, nonetheless have agreed to work with the sovereignists in Quebec. They have managed to reach a consensus, a concept this Prime Minister of Canada has not managed to reach, to feel comfortable with, to understand in the slightest.
Not long ago, the Prime Minister was accusing us of talking about the Constitution, when what had to be talked about was jobs, according to him. Now, when everybody is talking about employment, he is the one bringing up the Constitution. Cute trick, would you not say?
When will he, or his minister, meet with the government of Quebec and negotiate on the basis of consensus, a consensus reached by federalists and others, that same consensus referred to yesterday by everybody, from Gérald Larose to Laurent Beaudoin, from Daniel Johnson to Lucien Bouchard?
