I have a supplementary question, Mr. Speaker.

As the Prime Minister knows, the Deputy Prime Minister was booed at the Copps Coliseum in Hamilton because of her own performance and of the government's performance on the GST.

Here are some of the headlines that appeared in the Quebec newspapers: "Everybody Misunderstood", "GST: the End of a

Charade", "Smoke and Mirrors", in La Presse ; ``Copps the Joker'', in Le Devoir . There is national unity on this issue.

Will the Deputy Prime Minister act honourably and resign, as she promised during the last election campaign?
