Mr. Speaker, I also have news for the government.
In the February 22 issue of the Journal de Montréal , we read that Claude Ryan would vote against the clarity bill, and he did not mince his words. He sharply criticized the bill on the referendum conditions, becoming the first federalist known both in Quebec and on the federal level to openly express his dissent.
I could give in detail all the reasons he opposes this bill. Some say that this bill will be a black mark on democracy in Quebec.
