Mr. Speaker, the commissioner never said that I violated the act. This is totally absurd.
The word “defy” was used in reference to my office. There is some confusion in the letter between my department and my office. My office received the document on March 24, while the debate took place in the House during the first week of February.
This is a tempest in a teapot created by people who are looking for winning conditions for a referendum, people who are systematically harassing Quebec ministers in this government. This is a case of Quebeckers going after Quebeckers, as has been the case all too often in our history.
