Mr. Speaker, first I thank the hon. member for making me smile again. Second, this clarity bill should not be threatening to anyone. Who is afraid of clarity?
We believe that if things are clear, Quebecers will always choose to remain Canadians. Should we be wrong, then this legislation will be there to help us overcome the tremendous difficulties that would result from negotiating secession.
It is in everyone's interest, including separatists, to realize that secession can only be negotiated in clarity.
