Mr. Speaker, let me quote from Premier Romanow. He stated: “The first order of business with a social union is negotiating it as quickly as we can, not under any artificial deadlines or timetables”.
I would like to ask the member two questions. First, Reform members come into this House and purport to be acting on behalf of the provinces. Do they or do they not believe that there is a position for the federal government in these negotiations?
Second, how can they come forward to impose a deadline when the very chairman of the process they purport to support does not want it?
