Discussion · Government Orders
Marilène Gill Bloc Québécois
“The government must respect Quebec's jurisdiction and its unique legal system. Quebec never signed the Constitution, so we need open and productive dialogue between both sides.”
“Mr. Speaker, I was not expecting to talk about areas of jurisdiction, even though, as a Bloc Québécois member, we often talk about this. Of course it is important to respect jurisdictions. I discussed what makes Quebec unique in terms of civil law and the issue of the signing of the Constitution, which is something that is missing for us in Quebec. I expect everyone to fulfill their responsibility for dialogue in a fully transparent and productive way.”
