Mr. Speaker, I would like to point out to the minister that the agreements on immigration, manpower and school boards were entered into with sovereignist governments, because these governments are dedicated to looking after the interest of Quebec. They were not mere puppets.
How can the minister explain the Prime Minister's “mission accomplished” statement, when not one single political leader in Quebec—not Lucien Bouchard, Mario Dumont or Jean Charest—is prepared to sign the 1982 Constitution? If everything is so rosy, why are they not signing?
