He agreed that perhaps the Conserva- tives' constitutional taiks' critic. Jake Epp, might Sled some light on the Tory What will the Conservatives definitely oppose in any resolution put forward by the Trudeau government on patriation of the constitution? Contacted in Ottawa, Epp ... not Frank or Herb, but Jake ... explained, without really explaining, in a phone in- terview last week. Epp said what the Tories would find unacceptable is anything that “would change the structure of Canada fun- damentally as to the division of powers without the agreement of the provinces. That's the unacceptable." But what changes are considered "ftmdammtal?" That's what Epp's not saying. Asked, for example, if the Tories share the view of some premiers that in- corporation of a charter of rights is a fundamental change in the wrong direc- tion and would his party oppose it, he said “we will see when we dee the reso- lution." .

'at's prudent for all of as to see,“ Epp said, “what the Resolution is that will be brought down in the house/' He said the Tories would support sim- ple patriation with a unanimity formula for amendments, although he confessed unaimity among the provinces for any constitutional amendments “would make any future change difficult." Recently, leader Joe Clark has sug- gested the Tories might be prepared to accept something less than unanimity for the amending formula, referring in particular to the Victoria formula, which allows for a majority of seven provinces to rule, with special rights still given to dissenting provinces. Whatever. Epp isn‘t saying what the Tories will or won‘t support in anything that goes beyond simple patriation with whatever formula for amendment is de- cided upon. "What youve not going to get from us (now)," he said, "is the black and white until you see the resolution. No matter how, much you fellas want it earlier, I thinkall of us will have to wait for that “The official feedback (from Britain) I'm getting," he said, "is what was re- nected in the editorial in The Times of London. which was, look fellas, clean up your own laundry before you send it over." One thing. however, that the Tory cri- tic was prepared to talk about is the im- minence of a Canadian dispute goingAo the halls of Westminster in England.
