Mr. Speaker, our votes are equal of course, which is what yielded the 49.4% yes vote last time. As far as I know, the PQ government was quick to say “until next time”. If it lost the next time there was a referendum, would it say the same again? It will start all over again.
The crux of the problem, however, is that if ever, after a yes vote, separation were to occur, unfortunately, the people who had voted no would not be able to say “until next time”. The act would be irreversible, and would commit our children, our children's children, and the generations after that.
