Mr. Speaker, some fine Constitution, one rejected by all Quebecers. There is no political party in Quebec-be it the federalist Liberal Party of Quebec or the Parti Quebecois-no government which has recognized the Constitution. It was imposed upon us in the dead of night by the Prime Minister.
The minister tells us that he is calling upon the Supreme Court because Quebec has no right to declare its sovereignty unilaterally. I wonder why Quebec could not make its decision to become sovereign on its own, while Canada could make a unilateral decision to keep Quebec in Canada against the will of Quebecers. How can it be that some are allowed to do what others are not? Is that what you call democracy?
