Mr. Speaker, Alex Macdonald, former attorney general of B.C.; Gordon Campbell, leader of the B.C. Liberal Party; Gordon Gibson, former leader of the B.C. Liberal Party; Mel Smith, constitutional advisor to four B.C. premiers and the author of the amending formula in the Canadian constitution, have all said that the Nisga'a agreement is unconstitutional.
It is not just the Reform Party that is opposed to this agreement. Every day more British Columbians are voicing their opposition to this treaty. Is that not the real reason why the Prime Minister will not give British Columbians a vote?
