Hon. Allan Rock (Minister of Justice and
Attorney General of Canada, Lib.): Mr. Speaker, if the concern my friend has is not for constitutionality but for consistency,
then perhaps he can begin by explaining how it is that his colleague at this end of the bench asked me
10 minutes ago how could I ...[+++]dare countenance the payment of money to a claimant in an action against the crown and now he seems to be suggesting that instead of passing Bill C-28 we should be paying out money to the claimants in relation to constitutionality. [Translation] Mr. Gilles Duceppe (Laurier-Sainte-Marie, BQ): Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Justice did not really answer the question put by my colleague, the member for Saint-Hubert, a few moments ago.
[Français] M. Gilles Duceppe (Laurier-Sainte-Marie, BQ): Monsieur le Président, le ministre de la Justice n'a pas vraiment répondu à la question de ma collègue de Saint-Hubert, il y a quelques instants.
