Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my colleague from Berthier—Maskinongé on his speech.
Today, we hear the Liberals repeating over and over that they want to defend the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, but the one who inherited the charter, the Canadian Constitution and its 1982 repatriation was Pierre Elliott Trudeau.
Obviously, I would be happy to remind the House of Quebec's motto: Je me souviens, I remember. I will repeat for my colleagues on the other side of the House what the heir to the Charter and the Constitution said, which is that he was not afraid of the use of the notwithstanding clause. Instead, he kept repeating that it was always the elected representatives, voted in by the people at the ballot box, who had the last word, not the courts.
I would like my colleague to comment on this historical reference.
