Mr. Speaker, in 1995 this House passed a resolution stating that Quebec forms a distinct society and that all legislative and executive bodies and powers would be bound by that resolution.
The Bloc Quebecois has always held that this resolution was not worth the paper it was printed on, although the Prime Minister has always strenuously objected to this.
If, indeed, this is not an empty resolution, could the Prime Minister indicate to us what the importance of that resolution was during the negotiations on social union?
