The separatist Bloc Quebecois was courted by Stockwell Day's Canadian Alliance party eight years ago to form a coalition similar to what is being proposed today.
The proposal was contained in a letter from well-known Calgary lawyer Gerry Chipeur prior to the November 2000 election, in which Jean Chretien's Liberals won a majority government. |
"In an interview, Mr. Chipeur played down the importance of the offer,
saying he never discussed the matter with Mr. Day or other MPs, and was simply getting ready in the event of a minority government."
