Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has again slapped Albertans in the face.
Ninety-one percent of Albertans want an elected Senate. Both Premiers Klein and Bouchard want to change this country. Premier Klein wants to hold a good faith vote on an elected Senate. Premier Bouchard wants to hold a vote on separation to break up the country.
Why does the Prime Minister treat Premier Bouchard's negative initiative with more respect than Premier Klein's positive one?
