Mr. Speaker, in the matter of the constitution, the Prime Minister is hiding behind Quebec's action to justify potential intervention by the federal government in the Bertrand case, which is aimed at denying Quebecers the fundamental right of deciding their future themselves.
My question is for the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs. How can the federal government put itself in the position of blackmailing the Government of Quebec by making its non intervention in the Bertrand case conditional on Quebec's renouncing Quebecers' fundamental right to decide their future themselves?
