Mr. Speaker, when I heard the hon. member speak, I asked myself what annoys and upsets him the most. Is it that Canada is in fact the best country in the world, the Canada he wants to break up, or is it the fact that, as he said, ordinary Canadians, people across the country, should have rights? He seemed to allude that they should not and I find that most surprising coming from that party opposite. It is a party which one tends to think would have a little bit of common sense in this area.
After all, our charter and constitution are fundamental to the very grounding of the country. It is fundamental to who we are and the values we represent. To listen to that leader opposite and that party go on about how they would reduce a very complex issue down to whether or not it is a choice between Hell's Angels and the youth of the country, which is exactly what he said, is ludicrous in the extreme.
It was quite a theatrical performance, do hon. members not agree? Great sarcasm, great theatre, great mocking, mocking the justice minister and the solicitor general. It was great theatre on behalf of a so-called libertarian party.
Well, it was a little bit too thick. At the end of the day, the leader opposite and his party should hang their heads in shame for saying that the very constitution on which we base this country and the very charter by which the rights of all Canadians are guaranteed are at the whim of something as easy as a notwithstanding clause.
I want from the hon. member another example of when he would use the notwithstanding clause. I want to see another example of when he would invoke that if he were in a position to do so. I want to see precisely the rights he is prepared to strip not only from Quebecers but from Canadians as a whole. I would like him to answer that precisely and to the point.
