“We will always protect the Constitution and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. We will not comment on Alberta until we see the results. The law is clear that a majority means more than half the votes, and that law must be followed.”
“Mr. Speaker, our government will always protect the Constitution and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. We will always defend them. We are not going to speak on that at this stage. We will wait for the results to come in and see what happens in Alberta. However, the Prime Minister has been very clear. The rules are clear. A majority is 50% of the votes plus one. There are laws on that and they have to be upheld.”
