Mr. Speaker, these questions arose in the context of a decision of the Quebec Superior Court deciding that matters involving the project of sovereignty very much fall within the jurisdiction of the court and that the Constitution relates directly to these questions.
It was in that context that I said in the past and I repeated in the House yesterday that as the national government we are going to ensure that such matters are considered in the context of the law of the land. We are going to ensure that the political and the legal aspects of these matters are respected and that things are done in accordance with the values that we hold dear as Canadians.
