Mr. Speaker, I had not intended to react or comment on today's debate but I have been hearing so much rubbish I want to be on the record.
Canadians should be told the reality which is that we have been debating this issue for 40 years. In the years I have been here we have been doing nothing but accommodating the separatists. We have bent over backward and for the life of me I cannot figure out why the Reform Party wants to continue this debate. Canadians are fed up with this debate. This debate with the separatists has cost this country billions of dollars. It has affected our exchange. It has affected investment.
