Madam Speaker, I have been listening today to the comments and the back and forth dialogue across the House. Would the hon. member not admit that what we are establishing within the treaty is a brand new level of government? Never before have we had such a level of government created in Canada.
With that said, is it not possible or is it most likely that once the treaty is passed there will be 130 or more across Canada who will want to follow almost the exact wording of this treaty? The treaty is probably the most socially important piece of legislation we will face in the next century.
The member should not stand here and tell me that this is a bunch of nonsense. People from coast to coast want to know where it will go next. Will the government and this member justify six or seven treaties going on in my constituency within the next two years once this one is passed?
