Mr. Speaker, it is not unusual for one level of government to be rightly or wrongly under the impression that it was not sufficiently consulted by the other.
That is why negotiations are under way regarding the Canadian social union. One area we want to improve is the two way consultation process. This is under negotiation, and we hope to improve matters.
If the Premier of Quebec is indeed acting in good faith, as we hope he is, I guess he will agree with the other premiers that there is currently a basis for negotiations and will be willing to negotiate with a great deal of flexibility and openness.
