Michel Bellehumeur Bloc Berthier—Montcalm, QC

Mr. Speaker, I have here an extremely important article that appeared in the newspaper Le Droit , on October 26, 1995, and that will surely enlighten the House and eliminate the ignorance displayed by the people across the way out with regard to the 50% plus one.

I would ask for the unanimous consent of the House to table it.

Do I have unanimous consent to help—

Michel Guimond Bloc Beauport—Montmorency—Orléans, QC

Mr. Speaker, my request is twofold. First, I will ask for unanimous consent and, second, I will say why I am asking it.
