Points Of Order

[Ghislain Lebel, Bloc, Chambly, QC]

Mr. Speaker, further to the announcement by the Prime Minister and the introduction of a bill denying the fundamental rights of Quebecers, I ask for the unanimous consent of the House to table a document that could certainly enlighten the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs.

It is an article published in Le Soleil of December 11, 1999, which says that ordinary majority, which is 50% plus one—

[The Deputy Speaker]

Is there unanimous consent?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[Some hon. members]

No.

[Jean-Paul Marchand, Bloc, Québec East, QC]

Mr. Speaker, since the Prime Minister has introduced a bill denying Quebecers their fundamental rights, I ask for the unanimous consent of the House to table a very informative document.

[Maurice Dumas, Bloc, Argenteuil—Papineau, QC]

Mr. Speaker, further to the Prime Minister's announcement and to the introduction of a bill denying Quebecers their fundamental rights, I ask for the unanimous consent of the House to table a very informative document.

It is an excerpt from the report on the territorial integrity of Quebec if it becomes a sovereign country. This report was submitted to the Commission d'étude des questions afférentes à la souveraineté of the Quebec national assembly in May 1992.

Through the hon. member for Brome—Missisquoi, I ask for the unanimous consent of the House.

It is a brief which Les Patriotes du pays submitted to the Bélanger-Campeau Commission. This report says, and I quote—

[The Deputy Speaker]

[Pierrette Venne, Bloc, Saint-Bruno—Saint-Hubert, QC]

Mr. Speaker, further to the introduction by the Prime Minister of the bill denying Quebec's fundamental rights, I ask for the unanimous consent of the House to table a document that will enlighten the House. This is a brief submitted by the city of Val-d'Or to the Bélanger-Campeau commission.

This report states, on the first line—

[The Deputy Speaker]

Is there unanimous consent?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[Some hon. members]

No.

[The Deputy Speaker]

Are there other points of order. You two?

[Michel Bellehumeur, Bloc, Berthier—Montcalm, QC]

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

[The Deputy Speaker]

The hon. member for Berthier—Montcalm and the hon. member for Québec East have already intervened. Is this something else?

[Michel Bellehumeur, Bloc, Berthier—Montcalm, QC]

Yes, Mr. Speaker. As you heard earlier, our House leader, the hon. member for Roberval, has laryngitis. He has asked me to ask for unanimous consent to table an excerpt from the referendum act of Colorado—

[The Deputy Speaker]

No. This is an abuse of the process. We already decided yesterday and the day before that each of the members who want to table a document will have the right to do so. If there is another member who has not intervened yet I can recognize him. The hon. member for Roberval has already done this, has he not?
