Mr. Speaker, on July 29, 1997, the French government supplied the Government of Canada with a draft text and sought its opinion.
The French government will speak for itself, but we are well aware that it wants to remain friends with the Government of Quebec and the Government of Canada. It does not want to become involved in our internal disputes.
The best thing the Government of Quebec can do is to act in good faith with the Government of Canada to bring about this agreement, which will be very good for the people of Quebec.
