Lucien Bouchard’s resignation from federal cabinet and the Conser- vative caucus and a growing polarization in Quebec are symptoms of increased Meech discontent sparked by last week’s all-party Charest report, he said. The committee made 23 recom- mendations, but .Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa and Bouchard denounced the report as contrary to the best interests of Quebec. “Perhaps we're finally getting back to the B.C. proposal,”” Vander Zalm told reporters. “If our... proposal for resolution of it had been accepted back in January we probably wouldn't be where it is we're at today. I’m sure a lot of people now are thinking that was perhaps the best proposal yet.’” Among Vander Zalm’s BILL VANDER ZALM held it out as fuel toward a possible future solution for the accord, which would give the provinces wider- ranging powers in areas such as im- migration and Senate and Supreme Court appointments. changes to the Meech Lake accord is a provision that all provinces be recognized as distinct societies. The original accord would only recognize Quebec as a distinct society. He also suggested some parts of the accord, which is designed to bring Quebec into the Constitution, be passed into law while the provinces negotiate the contentious portions. Quebec rejected the proposal, but still the accord must be passed as is before any amen- dments can be considered. The Charest report recommends a com- panion resolution to the original to address concerns. Bouchard’s resignation hasn't made Meech negotiations any easier, but in light of his principles it is best he left government, Vander Zalm said. Union exemption gets second look VANCOUVER (CP) — A 1989 decision of the Industrial Relations Council allowing a couple to opt out of their union on religious grounds could prompt a flood of applications to the council for similar tion was irreconcilable with a union policy supporting reproductive freedom and family planning. Seven council chairmen are recon- sidering the 1989 decision. a union lawyer argued. Allan Black said that Section 11 of the Industrial Relations Act allows exemption from union membership only when applicants object to unions per se, not when the objection is to a single policy that may change. The council found in 1988 that North Vancouver teachers Justin and Nancy Wasilifsky weren't entitled to in the Black, rep g the teachers’ federation and the North Vancouver was correct in noting in 1988 that the union never prevented the Wasilifskys from expressing their views or prac- tising their faith. He said that if the panel does not strike down the 1989 decision, it will create an administrative nightmare because union policies can change from B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the North Vancouver Teachers’ Association on the ground that such membership would be contrary to their religious beliefs. That decision was overturned in 1989 when a council panel ruled the couple’s religious objection to abor- at the whim of members voting democratically at conventions. The council could face as many ap- peal applications as there are policy changes, Black said. The Wasilifskys’ lawyer, Randy Kaardal, said their case has not resulted in a rash of applications for union exemptions. Pickings slim, writer NEW YORK (CP) — Under the headline Canada? Who'd Want It, a Wall Street Journal article ned the United States not to jump at any chance to bring provincesinto. the union if Canada falls apart. A week after Finance Minister Michael Wilson was in New York to assure Wall Street that Canada can work out its problems, the editorial-page article took a darker view. It said that given English Canada’s exasperation with Quebec and the country’s other regional tensions, prospects for national survival are not bright even if the Meech Lake con- stitutional accord is ratified. Writer David Frum, assistant editorial feautres editor, ran through a list of what Canada’s parts would have to offer the United States in exchange for statehood. Frum, a native of Canada, found slim pickings. Federally supported Atlantic Canada is ‘‘littered with the car- casses of white elephants. the ‘‘dole is a way of life,"’ said Frum. He cited the recent comment by Nova Scotia Premier John Buchanan that the four provinces would have ‘‘no choice’’ but to join the United States if Quebec secedes. ‘Saskatchewan and Manitoba are economically depressed far- ming provinces that vote socialist.’” Quebec, despite its pro-business says talk, ‘‘remains the most statist place in North America’’ with government-owned Hydro Quebec and government-suppor- ted technology __ industries dominating the economy. The article said British Colum- bia and Alberta ‘‘believe they could do pretty well on their own or as American states’’ and would and bust Citing various polls, the article said Ontario is the only province where passion for national unity amounts to much, but patience is stating to wear thin for sub- sidizing have-not provinces. “The province that cares most about holding Canada together is the one that would profit most if it fell apart.’’ Sur y”.

Environment Minister Ralph Klein said the province had no legal groun- ds to withhold the licences, which allow Daishowa Canada to begii operating the bleached-kraft mill this summer and are valid for three years. “*All I can say is they've met all the of Alberta and there is no legal! reason not to give them the. permit to operate,"’ said Klein. ‘‘If there’s a legal reason, that’s for the courts to decide."’ A cpalition of environmental and native groups is fighting in federal court to force Ottawa to launch a full public review of the $500-million mill at Peace River, Alta. ‘They Want a public hearing process similar to one held late last year on a proposed Athabasca pulp mill, or the reviews the courts have ordered on the Rafferty-Alameda-and-Oldman Dam projects in Saskatchewan and Alber- ta. But the trial in federal court isn’t expected to start until October, and could be delayed further with appeals. “That could go on for years,” said Klein, referring to the court challenge. ‘‘Our lawyers say there are good legal reasons to give them their permit; that is, they played by all the rules.”” Klein agreed that the province felt it was vulnerable to court action if the licences were not issued. Daishowa spokesmen would not comment Tuesday. Jim Darwish, spokesman for Friends of the North, one of the groups involved in launching the court action, was furious with the news. “I'm astonished,” said Darwish. “We were told there would be hearings and public input into these permits.”" Darwish said the courts will be more reluctant to call for public hearings on an operating mill.
