Mr. Speaker, for years I have said that one does not break up a country after a judicial recount. This is a very important decision and a referendum is a consultation.
I agree with the Parti Quebecois that even results of 92% in a consultation are not binding on the government. This was what Ms. Harel said in Quebec City not very long ago.
We will see what the results of the consultation are, but it is clear that a simple majority will not be enough to let Quebec go. There is no need to get excited. Things are clear and we will follow the directions of the supreme court: the question and the result must be clear. If not, there will be no negotiation.
