A6 CASTLEGAR NEWS, Septembor 30, 1981 OTTAWA (CP) — Here is how the Supreme Court ruled Monday on the con- constitutional questions, 1) Would Prime Minister Trudeau's proposals affect federal-provincial relations or the rights, privileges and powers of the prov- inces? The court answered yes by a 9-0 vote. 2) Is there an unwritten convention the Commons and Senate should not ask Britain to amend the con- stitution in a way that af- fects provincial powers without their consent? The court answered yes 6-3, with Chief Justice Bora Laskin and Justices Willard Estey and William McIntyre dissenting. 3) Is there a constitu- tional requirement that provincial consent must be obtained before any changes are made affecting provincial powers? The court split its response to this question into two parts. By a 6-3 vote it ruled asa { How they voted no consent is required, The judges voted 17-2 that in strict legal terms, the federal government is not required to obtain the consent of the provinces. Justices Ronald Martland and Roland Ritchie dis- sented. There was also a fourth question, dealing with the « special case of Newfound- land, which did not enter Confederation until 1949. The court was asked to de- cide if the consent of the Newfoundland govern- ment or legislature, or a majority of the people of the province through a Trudeau will * OTTAWA (CP) — The Supreme Court of Canada Monday arrived at a “split decision on the federal gov- ernment’s resolution to pat- riate the British North Am- erica Act — ruling Ottawa is able to legally bring the con- stitution back to Canada without agreement of the 10 provinces, but warning the federal government will flout if it ahead “prudently” with the i in Brunswick. he did not rule light of the court ruling.

The high court did not consider this question in detail, saying only it would let stand a previous ruling by the Newfoundland Court of Appeal. That rul- ing did not give a precise answer either, instead set- ting forth a number of which matter of convention it is necessary to obtain provincial con- sent. Laskin, Estey and McIntyre dissented, saying to indicate a referendum would be required to change the Terms of Union. _, Ottawa prepared to compromise MONTREAL (CP) — Fed- eral Justice Minister Jean Chretien says Ottawa i is pre- pared to offer the provinces some compromises on the charter of rights in its con- stitutional package. Chretien, in an Ottawa in- terview with Le Devoir, said he doesn’t think simple pa- triation without a charter of rights would be acceptable but he refused to state whe- ther the charter would be in the package which British Parliament would be asked to approve or would be held d in Can- bet the pro- vineial and federal govern- ments. Prime Minister Pierre Tru- deau said Monday night the next move is his and he has no alternative but to press high. tated it would be irresponsible for the govern- ment to keep its constitu- tional package on hold now that the court has ruled Ot- tawa is acting legally in its efforts to patriate the BNA Act. Citing the need for urgent action on the contentious is- sue, the prime minister cast aside it to out a further meeting with the provincial premiers be- fore parliament is called upon to give final debate to the resolution, Such a meeting would almost certainly rep- resent a last, desperate at- tempt to find common ground before the package is sent to London for approval by the British Parliament. By failing to tackle the is- sue now, the federal govern- ment would open the door to further provincial-federal ar- guments, he said, while re- ferring to the advent of the Parti Quebecois in his native province. The prime minister made clear he is willing to listen to the p on changes to the itutional package the gi 's_unil: action from every province except Ontario and New only if they do not return to their long-held argument Both sides claim win OTTAWA (CP) — Both sides claimed victory follow- ing the historic ruling Mon- day by the Supreme Court of Canada that the federal gov- ernment is acting legally with its resolution to patriate the constitution. “I'm extremely’ pleased that on the legality (ques- tion), we won,” said a beam- ing Justice Minister Jean Chretien, Ottawa's chief con- back to be app ada later. “I await the provinces,” Chretien said. “There's noth- ing absolute in politics.” He also said agreement with “a reasonable number” of provinces on the con- stitution would, in his judge- ment, allow Ottawa to meet the Supreme Court's require- ments on the need for a con- stitutional federal-provincial convention.

There could be something better than what we now have. “We cannot avoid talking to the provinces and if they come up with something dif- ferent and acceptable for us, we should accept it.” “Will they agree among themselves,” he asked, “and | how many will be able to, agree?” Chretien said the court did not state how many prov- inces should agree with the federal government before a ihatinosl fs Attorney-General Allan Williams of British Columbia, whose premier | is spokesman would “aggravate and deep- en” those wounds, he said. Education Minister Brian Smith, a lawyer and member of the B.C. government's constitution committee, said it would be “unthinkable and unconscionable for the prime minister to go barrelling ahead to London and to hand that package to Mrs. Thatcher and say ‘put it through the House of Com- mons and pass it.’ " Smith said the decision is a victory for the country “be- cause the judges have said that wh the strict let- for the called the ruling “a : favorable decision.” Chretien told reporters he had spoken earlier to Prime Minister Trudeau by tele- phone from South Korea and “he was quite pleased.” “He was quite relieved — in his mind he had very little doubt that what we were doing is legal.” Federal lawyer Michel Robert described the judg- ment as a complete legal vic- tory for the federal govern- ment. He said Ottawa now can move ahead and proceed to London, although the high court's decision will not end the political debate. “Legally there are no bars.” The high court said the constitutional package, con- taining the charter of rights and an amending formula, ter of the law may be, there is another way, the Canadian way, to go, with consensus and consultation on the part of the provinces — in other words, that we're a fed- eration, we're not a unitary state.’ Victoria MP Allan Me- Kinnon said the. federal gov- ernment should never have got itself into this position in the first place. “They tried to do some- thing that was so clearly against the convention ‘and constitutional ~ requirement that the provinces be con- sulted before things be done to the constitution that affect them,” said McKinnon, de- fence minister in the short- ived Joe Clark government. “Consequently, the Su- preme Court has got in a pretty untenable position it- self and it came up with split - fe with P rights and there is an es- tablished tradition under the federal _ System of seeking year ($28 in where the Post Office has Let- ter Carrier service): The cue on newsstands is 3: sep edition.

Federal Progressive Con- servatives will fight “with every means at our dispo- sition” if Trudeau attempts to proceed with his con- stitutional proposals, Oppo- sition Leader Joe Clark said. The Supreme Court de- cision released earlier in the day shows Trudeau's prop- osals are unconstitutional "in the conventional sense,” Clark argued at a news con- ference. The prime minister's bid to amend and patriate the Brit- ish North America Act over the objections of eight of the 10 provinces has caused div- isions in Canada, Clark said.

Opposition Leader Joe Clark warned, however, the divisions that exist in the country would be “aggrava- ted and deepened” if the government pressed on. He said Trudeau should not proceed with his consti- tutional plans and the Pro- gressive Conservatives, which had filibustered the Liberal package in the Com- mons, will oppose him ab- solutely if he does. He said Trudeau has the choice of avoiding divisions or making divisions in the country. “ALL KINDS OF ANIMAL FEED —SPECIAL— DOG FOOD Bkg- bog -seescssseeeeseeese SOOO LORD’S GROCERY & FEED Genelle (Post Office) Monday-Saturday 0 a.m.-9 p.m. Sunday & Holidays 11 a.m.-9 p.m. 693-2430 €é a) vailey landscape nursery Now's the time for. . .

Work with it has just begun at several American medical centres, she added. Fibrin Seal is a two-com- ponent substance.

Opposed to CB's. being legalized LONDON (CP) — Both the Royal Air Forre and the Civil Aviation Authority have warned that the use of citi- zens’ band radio, soon to become legal in Britain, inter- feres with vital radio beams which guide aircraft land- ings.
