Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs.
Following a meeting between the new leader of the head office of the sovereignist forces in Quebec and his Ottawa lieutenant on the weekend, Mr. Boisclair said he saw no reason to comply with federal legislation on referendum clarity and that a PQ government would declare independence unilaterally following a “yes” victory in a referendum.
Can the minister tell this House whether this scenario might ensue?
