Mr. Speaker, that rule does not exist. It is not written anywhere in the Quebec Referendum Act. In fact, the white paper that underlies this act clearly states that the reason it is not necessary to set a majority threshold is that the political authorities will be able to evaluate the result on the basis of what is at stake and of the clarity of the process.
Above all, we Quebecers like clarity. We are clearly saying that we no longer want confusing questions like the one asked in 1995.
