NEABLYI'NEW SOPS1 WFTUYOSAWAI C OCoIb1,SgE 73 Celi SiU Shocked by PM's stand I was shocked by the reaction of our Prime Minister to the recent Supreme Court ruling on the constitution. Scarcely after the ink of the decision was dry, Mr. Trudeau and 'bis Justice Minister announced they would be going ahead with their plan of installing a Charter of Rights into Canada's Constitution in Britain and then repatrîating it. Eight of our country's provincial governmnents and the Conservative Party in Ottawa simply want the constitution repatriated. Then a Charter of Rights can be installed as a purely Canadian decision. But this might mean Mr. Trudeau won't get the particular. Charter of Rights that he wants. So last week Canadians were treated to some sick and hypocritical rationalizations. The Supreme Court ruled "conventions and tradi- lions" were ignored by the repatriation scheme. Justice Minister Jean Chretien said this didn't mat- ter. Yet, prior to the ruling, he was saying conven- tions and traditions were quite important. He claimed they forced Britain's Parliament to pass his boss' plan without any trouble. The Prime Minister was essentially told by the Court that he bas the legal authority to get his con- stitution. But be was also told that to do so would go against the very grain of the country. Pierre Trudeau's decision? "We must be prepared to do what the Supreme Court has indicated we have the authority to do." Canada is bigger than the personal retirement schedule of any one man. The Prime Minister could earn the esteem of the nation if he gracefully backed away from bis personal timetable and nego- tiated with the provinces. My party will continue to advise him to do so.
