Mr. Speaker, since the Parti Quebecois and the Bloc Quebecois like to quote the supreme court, perhaps I could repeat for them what it said. It said “The referendum result, if it is to be taken as an expression of the democratic will, must be free of ambiguity both in terms of the question asked and in terms of the support it achieves. Democracy means more than simple majority rule”.
In the House of Commons on November 23rd, 1999. See this statement in context.
