Madam Speaker, if I used the word dishonest, I meant misleading, that the Bloc Quebecois has been misleading the people in Quebec with regard to what the ramifications of a clear question would be.

This legislation would help the Bloc in making a clear question and putting a clear question before the people of Quebec. Let them decide if they agree with the direction the Government of Quebec and the Bloc Quebecois want to take the people of Quebec, which is out of Canada, away from the things we share as Canadians and to have a new nation.

This legislation is a beginning. It does not go far enough. Certainly the government should do more to clarify it.
