House of Commons Hansard #40 of the 36th Parliament, 2nd Session. (The original version is on Parliament's site.) The word of the day was consent.
Gérard Asselin Bloc Charlevoix, QC
Mr. Speaker, further to the introduction by the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs of a bill denying Quebecers their fundamental rights, I ask for the unanimous consent of the House to table a document that will enlighten this House.
This is an article that was published on December 11, 1999 in La Presse which describes how upset Quebec, and especially its national capital, are as a result of the announcement—
Christiane Gagnon Bloc Québec, QC
Mr. Speaker, I have here a document which could be useful to members of the House following the tabling by the federal government of a bill denying the fundamental rights of Quebecers.
It is an article published in La Presse on December 16, 1994, where it was reported that Ottawa's insistence on the word “separation” being used in the referendum question had no legal basis.

Pierre Brien Bloc Témiscamingue, QC
Mr. Speaker, I have here a press release from the Mouvement national des Québécois stating its position and its total opposition to the bill introduced by the Prime minister and the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs and seeking to restrict the fundamental rights of Quebecers.
To enlighten the House, I ask for unanimous consent to table this document.

Michel Bellehumeur Bloc Berthier—Montcalm, QC
Mr. Speaker, a document prepared by the chief electoral officer of Quebec at the time of the last referendum shows beyond any doubt that referendums in Quebec are held very democratically and that we do not have any lesson to receive from the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs.
For his benefit, I ask for the unanimous consent to table the document, so that he can read it.

Louis Plamondon Bloc Richelieu, QC
Mr. Speaker, further to the introduction by the government of the bill denying Quebecers their fundamental rights, I ask for the unanimous consent of the House to table a document that will enlighten the House.
It is an article published in Le Droit on December 11, 1999, showing very clearly how the government intends to prevent Quebecers from freely choosing their future.
Stéphane Bergeron Bloc Verchères, QC
Mr. Speaker, we have had cause since yesterday to doubt your capacity to hear, but this time I must regrettably point out to you that we heard no one in the House answer no to the request for unanimous consent we just made.
