Mr. Speaker, our government is committed to upholding our constitutional values and to upholding co-operative federalism.
Under the previous government, Canada was added by Mr. Henderson as a third party to proceedings. As such, we are obligated to appear and participate in proceedings. Our government believes that Bill 99 is constitutional insofar as it is interpreted in a way that is consistent with the Canadian Constitution and within the jurisdiction of the legislature of Quebec.
It would be inappropriate for me to comment further, as this matter is before the courts.
