Mr. Speaker, I will gladly answer him.
He did not listen to me. The only thing that the government and the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs do not like is that that opinion—yes, we were proud of it—forces the government to negotiate if the question and the majority are clear.
However, what this bill does is discharge the government from its obligation to negotiate because the government will decide what is a clear question and what is a clear majority. It does not say in the bill what majority means. It is leaving open the possibility of setting the majority as high as it wants.
Above all, it chooses the subject. It refuses the idea of negotiation between equal partners. It refuses the concept of sovereignty partnership which is the way for Quebec. Quebec's sovereigntists do not want to build a fortress around Quebec. They want the establishment of a new and modern relationship with Canada, a type of relationship that our friends opposite promote for other peoples.
If this is good for other peoples, why can it not be good for Quebec and Canada?
