Right Hon. John N. Turner (Leader of the Opposition):
Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister said several times that, in general, he is against applying the notwithstanding clause. Does the Prime Minister approve of the use of this notwithstanding clause in the Quebec Bill itself as a way to get around the Quebec Charter of Rights and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and to counter the effects of the judgement rendered by the Supreme Court of Canada?
