Mr. Speaker, as I have already said, when the word clear is put before the word majority, it is because a simple majority is not enough.
Yesterday, during a public debate, the Bloc Quebecois constitutional critic was asked the following simple question by an ordinary citizen “If 50% plus one is a clear majority, could you give us an example of a majority that is not clear?” The best answer he could come up with was “50% and 50%”.
Fifty per cent and fifty per cent is not a majority, period.
