Mr. Speaker, the hon. member across the way is making certain allegations concerning statements that have been made.
I would suggest he take care, because it must be kept in mind that, on January 16, 1997, the Quebec minister of finance said of the Government of Quebec's financial statements in connection with the referendum, “It would be negligent on our part to make public the financial plan of the Government of Quebec in connection with the referendum”. This statement was made by the finance minister of the PQ government of Quebec.
