Madam Speaker, I would like to enlarge upon the Newfoundland referendum a bit. The member is talking about these overlays and templates and he is trying to put them on every public policy issue there is.
There was a majority of Newfoundlanders who had religious goals, whether those goals happened to be Catholic or Protestant, who needed the vote on that very important and fundamental issue to Newfoundland. It was not the majority trying to decide something for a minority right, it was the majority deciding for the majority.
