Mr. Speaker, I have to ask the minister a question again, and I will do it very slowly, because what I heard from him were a couple of notes jotted down on a sheet. There was no forethought, there was no organization in that. I suggest he read Hansard tomorrow to see how little sense that speech actually made.
The member for Calgary Southwest asked him in good faith what is the problem, what is the hang-up with the federal government, and again more blather.
The minister knows how serious this issue is. The government can talk about the fact that everything is great in Quebec and in every other province. But the government did precious little to help the federalist side in the election last night and then the minister stands up today as if everything is terrific. It is not. We have a separatist government again in Quebec.
I would like him to stand up and say exactly what it is with his government that is the hang-up to seeing through this social union that every premier in the country wants.
We do not need a lecture on unity this morning. We need the minister to stand up and say what he will do to make sure the social union goes through with every premier in the country and what his hang-up is. Name it, please.
