Mr. Speaker, Quebec's intergovernmental affairs minister, Jacques Brassard, said yesterday that: "Whether it is the Superior Court, the Appeal Court or the Supreme Court, Quebec's position remains the same. A judge remains a judge. We feel that this is not a matter for judges, regardless of the level of the court".
The PQ government just indicated that its independence project is above the laws and the courts. It tells voters that a separatist government can flout the laws of this country if they do not serve its sovereignist cause.
Quebecers should wonder about the type of society and justice that they can be guaranteed by a government which, in order to justify its independence project, does not hesitate to disregard the fundamental laws of our country.
