Mr. Clark has been very supportive of what Quebec wants but he has also carefully guarded the interests of the other provinces in the compromise he struck with the premiers. So it‘s a fair deal. And that brings us back to the dilemma: If you‘re the prime minister, what do you do if you‘ve got a deal that everybody but Quebec has agreed to and you know that you‘ve lost the chance to have a referendum? Difficult, very difficult. But interesting. If I were the prime minister, I‘d phone up Mr. Clark‘s old friend Professor Pete, who has spent a lifetime studying Canadian politics, and ask him what to do. If somebody like that doesn‘t deserve respect, then nobody in public life does. It shouldn‘t rea.lly matter because Quebec receives increased powers under the new proposals and the senate won‘t be all that effective in any event to really make a difference. _ But you know Quebec. It needs more of anything than anybody else. The spoiled child of Confederation. _ Mr. Clark‘s proposals are sensible, but you‘ll soon see that Quebec won‘t like them because each province gets to send an equal number of people to the newlyâ€"created senate. & i ut lc cuar tar ie ";m'been You have to give a lot of credit to Mr. Clark. He‘s through unimaginable political wars, endure_d countless stab; bings by people in his own party and has, dgspxt,e all of that, pud the country‘s interest ahead of his and soldiered on bravely an without rancor. After all, how could you not be for Canada and, consequently, for the prime minister? But all of those plans changed when Mr. Clark put together a deal that everybody agreed on and that could be given to Quebec on a platter. Nice piece of work for Mr. Clark. But it deprived the prime minister of a marvellous chance to stump the country with an issue that could only help him. PM faces a tricky situation, indeed I keep wondering what Professor Pete thinks about all of this. At least he must be intrigued. Professor Pete, as I call him affectionately, is Peter Woolstenâ€" croft, chair of the University of Waterloo‘s Department of Political Science. He is a scholar of Canadian government, constitutional advisor extraordinaire and a cardâ€"carrying Progressive Conservative. He is also a good friend of Joe Clark. So good, in fact, that Joe was in his wedding party. And Mr. Clark, probably the only statesman left in governâ€" ment anywhere in this country, has painted the prime minister into a nifty little corner with the latest constitutional proposals. They were the ones, you‘ll remember, that were finally agreed to by the nine nonâ€"Quebec premiers and the federal governâ€" ment, largely as a result of hard work and perseverance by Mr. Clark. When the constitutional package was finally put together after an epic struggle that seemed almost endless, the prime minister happened to be out of the country. And word has it that the whole deal wasn‘t supposed to happen that way. Nobody had expected the premiers to come up with a proposal they could unanimously present to Quebec. f NIVaIERLOO ,/‘/ ‘la es cl . Chronicle \Q\,/ ) & .
