Mr. Speaker, further to the introduction by the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs of a bill denying Quebecers their fundamental rights, I draw the attention of my colleagues to an article from the October 2, 1995 issue of Le Droit , which says that the 50% plus one rule applies everywhere in Canada except in Quebec.
It seems to me that this article would enlighten my colleagues on the issue—

Order, please. The member is taking too much time to describe the article. Does he have the unanimous consent of the House to table the article?

If it is a point of order I will hear it.

I did not even have the chance to ask for unanimous consent so why is this being denied?
I know my colleagues opposite are eager to learn so I ask for their unanimous consent.

Mr. Speaker, since last Friday, the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs has been making confusing and sometimes provocative remarks.
This follows the announcement made by the Prime Minister, who just introduced a bill denying Quebecers their fundamental rights.

I therefore ask for unanimous consent to table this document that will enlighten the House of Commons.

Mr. Speaker, in view of the fact that my colleague from Chicoutimi was not allowed to table the document, I have here the Liberal red book.
On page 9, it says “Generations—have dreamed of building—an independent country”. I agree with that and I ask for unanimous consent to table the Liberal red book.
Gilles-A. Perron Bloc Saint-Eustache—Sainte-Thérèse, QC
Mr. Speaker, on December 11, 1999, I have here an article in the Journal de Montréal that confirms that Ottawa wants to muzzle Quebec.
Further to the introduction of the bill, I want to table this article. I ask for unanimous consent to do so.
