Mr. Speaker, in response to a question from me yesterday, the Minister of Justice stated: "If and when there is another referendum, we will make sure that the question is clear, that the implications are clearly set out and that all Canadians have a say on the future of this country".
My question is for the Minister of Justice. In wishing to have the courts decide the wording of the referendum question, is the minister aware that he is placing the Government of Quebec under trusteeship, thus denying the people of Quebec the right to self-government?
