Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister.
On October 24 in the Verdun auditorium, the Prime Minister stated that he agreed with the Quebec people's desire for change. He went on to say, and I quote: "I supported that position in the past, I support it today, and I will support it in the future, whatever the circumstance".
How can the Prime Minister reconcile his smooth talk on the eve of the referendum with his current attempt to deprive the Quebec people of their fundamental right to decide their own future?
