Mr. Speaker, the Liberal Party of Quebec has just adopted the position of Claude Ryan, the former leader of the No camp in 1980, and is stating beyond any doubt that the question of Quebec's future is a political, not a legal, one.
Does the Prime Minister understand that the trap he has set up to force the Supreme Court, in spite of itself, to rule on the question of Quebec's future is an unacceptable strategy, and that he must backtrack immediately?
