Mr. Speaker, my question is for the right hon. Prime Minister.
It seems to me that the Prime Minister's position on when the next election should be held grows more untenable as more and more Canadians realize that there is nothing unconstitutional, nothing unparliamentary about Parliament expressing its opinion about when the next election should be held. This is an activity that the Prime Minister already has legitimized, by himself saying when he thinks when the next election should be called.
Why is it okay for the Prime Minister and not for Parliament, and why is he playing chicken with the aboriginal affairs conference?
