Mr. Speaker, as I said yesterday, the government's priority, once it re-established a balance in its public finances, was to consolidate transfers to the provinces.
As to the professor's report, if every report the government received required its commitment I imagine the same is true for political parties. In December 1999 Professor Alain Pellet wrote the Bloc saying that in the event of secession being negotiated the question of Quebec's borders would be on the table. This is now the position of the Bloc.
