Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Justice. It relates to the government's decision to intervene in the Bertrand case.
I think it is important that the minister has recognized the importance of defending the rule of law, without which the democratic process has no meaning.
To clarify fully the government's position, is it the position of the Government of Canada that any change to the constitutional status of a province would have to be done legally and would require under the amending formula the consent of all provinces?
