Mr. Speaker, one wonders on which planet Quebec's designated premier, Lucien Bouchard, lives.
Yesterday evening, he expressed surprise at the comments of Newfoundland's premier, Brian Tobin, who said that the Calgary declaration was an interesting first step toward constitutional talks. Of course, Mr. Bouchard was not pleased by these comments. Grouchy as always, he tried to downplay the significance of the Calgary declaration.
One wonders why Mr. Bouchard is wasting everyone's time with his phoney commission, whose mandate is to torpedo the efforts of those who dare work to improve Canada's future.
Whether you like it or not, Mr. Bouchard, a majority of people believe that Quebec's future is within the Canadian constitutional family. Call an election and you will see. Let it be known that the countdown has begun. The end of the Quebec separatist movement is in sight.
