Le premier ministre et tous les collaborateurs dont la fonction est de travailler à la question de l'unité nationale partent du principe non pas que le Canada va se scinder, mais qu'il va rester uni. Il s'agit de savoir comment nous, en tant que gouvernement national, pouvons favoriser la collaboration entre les diverses provinces, dont le Québec, qui rendra cela possible.
The Prime Minister and all of the associates whose job it is to work on this issue of national unity are not working from the premise that the country will break apart; they are working from the premise that the country will stay together, and how we, as a national government, can facilitate the kind of cooperation between provinces - including Quebec - that will make that possible.
