Mr. Speaker, there is a great deal of confusion about the government's position with respect to the supreme court reference. There is the position of the Minister of Justice, the position of the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, and the position of the lawyer, Yves Fortier.
I would ask the Prime Minister to tell us what the government's position is. Is it the position of the Minister of Justice, who says that Quebec's sovereignty would create such an exceptional situation that the Constitution would be of no help, or is it that of Yves Fortier, who argued the exact opposite before the supreme court?
