Mr. Speaker, I would like to read a poem entitled “Fortier at the bat”.
Before the court assembled Mr. Fortier had his say What was in the Constitution Was the order of the day Not discouraged for a moment The good people of Quebec Hastened forth to tell the lawyer That he simply looked a wreck For though Plan B he must help save And Lord he wished he could The ball was slipping from his grasp And heading for no good And though he argued loud and long The effort was to fail Before his very eyes alas He saw Quebec prevail The lesson learned, a hard one too Is this, there is no doubt Quebec knows what it has to do And will see its own way out
