Mr. Speaker, I would like to commend the hon. member for MacLeod for his interest in the clarity bill. I have a question for him.
Does he believe that Canada should stay united? Does he believe in official languages, yes or no? I would like him to explain.
How it is that in the Standing Joint Committee on Official Languages the hon. member for MacLeod, as a representative of the Reform Party, voted against a proposal from the committee asking the province to designate as bilingual the national capital, the new city of Ottawa, which will be restructured by the year 2001. Why did he object to the city of Ottawa becoming bilingual?
