My friend is totally wrong. The minister is leaving at the end of next week as scheduled because the ministerial portion of the meeting does not begin until December 8. Our position will be known publicly well before that time and yet there will still be no Reform position. They do not count. They do not care. Why do they not take responsibility to come to the table with a consensus to help Canada have a good deal? Where is the Reform Party? Absolutely nowhere.
In the House of Commons on November 28th, 1997. See this statement in context.
