Hon. Marilyn Trenholme Counsell: Honourable senators, I stand here with Bill S-4 in my hand, a tiny document of fewer than 300 words — 276 is my count — which has challenged honourable senators to delve deeply into the history of our beloved country and to delve deeply into their own consciousness, each in his or her own way, to respond to a project of law of extraordinary significance and of profound consequences; an act, no less, to amend the Constitution Act, 1867.
L'honorable Marilyn Trenholme Counsell : Honorables sénateurs, je tiens dans mes mains le projet de loi S-4. C'est un très petit document, qui compte moins de 300 mots — 276 d'après mes calculs.
