Document Summary
Whitaker quote- about mega constitutional politics and the outcomes. Arrangement between elites because that become a major issue in this. Best way to point this out- the criticism of mulroney and the premiers- the 11 men in suits. 1- qc now wants more power for itself. In terms of governing a modern society and modern economy. It is not particularly predicated on threats to the french speaking community- its more saying we are a modernizing government we need more powers to get our objectives. They reject the fulton favro formula because they say it"s too rigid too hard to get powers through this to get objectives. 2- importance of the role of the public. Turmoil in qc not just with bombs but rise of separatist movements of what became. A response outside of qc to this- phrased around what does qc want . An intergovernmental conference that the feds refused to attend- the federation for tomorrow.
