@Ottawa says; "...Their credibility would have immediately been seriously undermined..."
Un autre grand tarlais de ti-cul d’enfoiré  qui se “p(H)ourre” le doigt dans l’œil et volontairement et d’une ignorance crasse affichée
La Presse/ Montréal le 29 octobre 2016;
(Québec Prime Minister) Philippe Couillard, will accompany Sunday, in Brussels, its federal counterpart Justin Trudeau for the signing of the free trade agreement (CETA) between Canada and the European Union. The Prime Minister Couillard reminds that Québec has been the INITIATOR of this agreement, and that the Government was committed for two years to promote on all forums with European partners.

Got it Anglo Canada ?  
“Québec is the “INITIATOR” of this agreement”
Cheers to Québec (again!)
