Mr. Speaker, the minister is confusing wishful thinking with reality. At the time of Meech and of Charlottetown, the minister was an attentive observer of the Canadian political scene. He noted that each of these initiatives led to total failure.
Now that he has become a front line player in the creation and follow-up of Calgary, is he not just reshooting the same old film, with the same old actors, and the same old predictable ending, in other words the Calgary declaration, which is not enough for Quebec and far too much for Canada?
