National Unity November 6th, 1995
Mr. Speaker, the answer is a little vague, but let us try to pin it down a bit more.
Will the minister not agree that rather than trying to enshrine a distinct society into the Constitution, if that is what is meant by the answer, legitimate aspirations of everyone can be met through the devolution of powers for language and culture from the federal to all provincial governments without the need for constitutional change?
National Unity November 6th, 1995
Mr. Speaker, polls over the weekend indicate that in the wake of last week's no vote a strong majority of Canadians, both inside and outside Quebec, feel that the country should be more decentralized. The polls also indicate that support for a distinct society clause is weak and that such a clause would likely run into problems if the government tries to introduce it.
Given these sentiments, will the government commit to abandoning the distinct society clause?
Points Of Order November 2nd, 1995
Mr. Speaker, my point of order is that there were two wrong statements made in the House this afternoon.
One accused the Reform Party of deliberately having a policy of not supporting the parade in Montreal and the other was a statement that the Reform Party deliberately wanted the yes side to win.
Those two statements are totally erroneous.

Quebec Referendum November 2nd, 1995
Mr. Speaker, remarks by the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister reveal their contempt for the principles of fairness and unity.
While the Reform Party leader advanced a vision of Canada with Quebec, it was the Prime Minister who proved to be the most destructive force in the "neverendum" referendum.
Last night the Prime Minister compared the slim no vote victory to a hockey game where one team wins by a goal. The coach should be fired. This team went into the third period with a nine-point lead and almost blew it.
The Deputy Prime Minister praised the Liberal do nothing campaign in Quebec and the efforts of their Mulroney soul mate from Sherbrooke. She also attacked her opponents as being vultures. In fact the only vultures that will be seen will be those across the way, hovering over the discredited leader of the Liberal Party as they look to replace him.
Still, this type of Liberal Party tactic does not surprise Canadians because, as they know, if it looks like a rat, if it walks like a rat and if it squeals like a rat, it is a member of the Liberal rat pack.
