Mr. Speaker, there are many who agree with that, but at least three government ministers made statements and comments yesterday on the situation. The Prime Minister should turn to his cabinet colleagues and tell them "Ladies and Gentlemen, move on to some other topic". That is what he should do.
Meanwhile, since the Minister of Justice, someone who is far from being a junior member of this government, has made statements of such importance to the future of this issue, how can the Prime Minister-I wish to ask the Prime Minister-how can he now state that the next referendum will be merely a consultation, merely consultative, when he himself, in speaking to the people of Quebec right before the last referendum, told them their decision would be irreversible? How can he reconcile the two?
