Mr. Speaker, in his comments the hon. member referred to the amendments of Leader of the Official Opposition and his position.
In his comments the Leader of the Opposition referred to a court reference, whether the issue should be referred to the courts. I wonder if the hon. member could share with the House his thoughts on whether there should be a court reference. Or, should it depend on what the committee hears by way of expert legal and constitutional opinion?
Is the member prepared to accept the committee's decision on that, or does the New Democratic Party have a position with respect to the court reference?
