Mr. Speaker, my, my, my, the Bloc members are touchy tonight. They are very sensitive. They can dish it out but they cannot seem to take it. I do not need to be lectured on constitutional law. I know exactly what constitutional law is in Canada.
I do know that if the Canadian government and the justice minister and the solicitor general proceeded without meeting in Quebec in the next couple of days, those people opposite would be screaming to high heaven. They would be saying that once again they are victims, that once again they have been left out, that once again they have been cut off from the Canadian mainstream. They would be up on their high horse going into all kinds of pretzel-like gyrations.
The point is that in the next couple of days we are proceeding to go with the Quebec counterparts, ensuring that we work in a co-operative fashion. The hon. member cannot seem to get that through his head. He should rethink his position, tone it down and think through what he is saying, instead of getting all emotional and proceeding in a ludicrous way. But that is fine. Perhaps it is part and parcel of who he is.
All I am saying is that the government, the justice minister and the solicitor general have made it very clear. We will be dealing with this issue with our provincial and territorial partners in an effective way. We will make sure that we continue to work in a way which is consistent with Canadian values which are fundamental to the country.
