Mr. Speaker, this week at the National Assembly, members of all parties voted unanimously in favour of a resolution asking the government to amend section 93 of the Canadian Constitution, in order to establish school boards in Quebec along linguistic lines.
The resolution comes after more than 30 years of debate-this goes back to the Parent report-and after more than a year of consultations held across Quebec, throughout the regions. Today, the federal government tells us this was not enough.
I want to ask the Prime Minister whether he realizes that he is preventing the passage of an amendment to section 93 before the next election and thus delaying the introduction of linguistic school boards in Quebec?
