However, I can think of two of the most important votes that I as a member have voted on. One was the Newfoundland school question and the other was the Quebec school question. Those votes were a clear demonstration that this country and its constitution are willing to keep time with current events as they unfold and also to make room for an emerging nation.</p>\n<p>I would ask the member opposite how she could make those comments in the face of legislation which has already been passed.</p>",
