Mr. Speaker, I thank the leader of the Bloc Québécois for his speech.
I must point out that the matter of whether the clause may be used pre-emptively does not even appear in the government's factum. It was not even raised.
The Bloc is calling on us to withdraw the factum filed with the Supreme Court, but there is a very important question that needs to be addressed. The Quebec Superior Court and the courts of Saskatchewan have rendered decisions that illustrate a different position from that of the Quebec Court of Appeal with respect to the declaratory power.
Will the Bloc leader acknowledge that the Attorney General of Canada must clarify the law for all Canadians?
