Mr. Speaker, in Alberta the Conservative Party provincially and federally had no candidate, the NDP federally and provincially had no candidate, the Liberals federally and provincially had no candidate, all the people from Alberta who thought this process was not very useful. The people in Alberta went to vote yesterday in very few numbers. I am told that twice as many voted on the video lottery referendum than voted on the Senate.
In the House of Commons on October 20th, 1998. See this statement in context.
