Mr. Speaker, this is getting annoying. One cannot have a special set of rules for Canada that do not apply to other countries.
Canada is an independent state, recognized as such by the United Nations, and it has the same rights as other countries. I can quote, for instance, the Helsinki declaration, which states that “Participating states shall respect the principle of the equality in law of peoples and their right to self-determination, by acting at any given time in accordance with the goals and objectives of the Charter of the United Nations”.
This means that the right to secede exists only in a colonial context. Secession is not a right within a democracy.
