He did not answer.</p>\n<p>I asked him again in October, November and December. He always said \u201csoon\u201d, but he did nothing. This week, Lucien Bouchard's separatists started their so called consultation.</p>\n<p>Why is the Prime Minister leaving himself open to embarrassment this way? Is it laziness or fear of offending Lucien Bouchard?</p>",
