Mr. Speaker, of course the 1995 referendum question was a fraud. It was a complete fraud. And there was a precedent. With regard to the 1980 referendum question, the leader of the No camp said, “A real fraud, a misleading and dishonest question, a cover-up to maximize support for the yes camp”.
My question is as follows: can Quebeckers lose Canada through fraud, cover-up or deception? Of course not, and we now have the Supreme Court's opinion, and the clarity legislation to protect Quebeckers.
