Mr. Speaker, the hon. member does agree with my point about Quebec's being at the forefront in this area. However, he concluded by saying that the federal government ought not to withdraw completely, because it has a role to play, as leader.
I would like to know exactly what he means by “role to play, as leader” in the area of child custody, alimony, education in terms of level of studies and access. I would like him to tell me not in terms of the Constitution we want, but in terms of the Constitution of 1982. There is something we must not forget. There is a Constitution where Quebec's hand was forced. Perhaps not the hand. I should say it was jammed down our throat, because we did not sign it.
I would like the hon. member to tell me what leadership role, under the Canadian Constitution, the federal government could play in the area of family rights?
