Mr. Speaker, the hon. member talks about my historic memory. I would appeal to his historic memory. I would appeal to him to reread the questions of 1980 and 1995. I will not bore the House by doing it here but I can say that they went on and on and on. They were not clear; they twisted and turned with all kinds of nuances. That will not happen again.
We as the government on this side of the House will ensure that we will keep whatever promises we made in terms of including all Canadians. We will also continue to provide the peace, order and good government required by all Canadians. That is not to twist into this kind of nonsensical equation. Rather we will make sure that we provide jobs for Canadians. We will make sure that we have our fiscal house in order. We will make sure that we provide the kind of government, health care and all the things that Canadians want.
As far as the numbers are concerned, the supreme court was very clear. Even Mr. Bouchard said that the supreme court's judgment had merit. The supreme court said it will be a clear question and a clear majority. That is good enough for me. It is democratic and it is what Canadians want.
