      too
      much

      deliberate
      the

      amendment
      known
      as
      the
      Meech
      Lake
      Accord.
      This
      is
     
     
      _
      especially
      true
      because
      the
      people
      were
      not
      let
      into
      the
     
     
      importance
      of
      the
      Accord
      and
      that
      their
      imput
      was
     
     
      important
      until
      months
      before
      the
      Accord
      had
      to
      be
     
     
      passed
      by
      all
      provinces.
      The
      three
      years
      given
      to
      the
     
     
      provinces
      was
      not
      used
      for
      the
      input
      of
      the
      people
      but
     
     
      instead
      electing
      new
      premiers
      leaving
      the
      fate
      of
     
     
      Meech
      Lake
      unknown.
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Yes,
      during
      the
      months
      preceeding
      the
      demise
      of
     
     
      Meech
      Lake
      Brian
      made
      some
      eexagerations
      regarding
     
     
      the
      fate
      of
      the
      country
      if
      Meech
      Lake
      did
      not
      pass.
     
     
      This
      could
      be
      perceived
      as
      lying;
      or
      it
      could
      be
      con-
     
     
      sidered
      smart
      politicking.
      After

      was
      trying
      to
      help
     
     
      his
      baby,
      that
      must
      have
      been
      especially
      important
      to
     
     
      him
      as
      a
      native
      son
      of
      Quebec.

      not
      saying
      that
      I
      was
      entirely
      unhappy
      when
     
     
      Meech
      Lake
      died.
      It
      was,
      alas,
      tragically
      flawed.
     
     
      The
      unanimaty
      clause,
      which
      would
      have
      called
      for
     
     
      the
      consent
      of
      all
      provinces,
      instead
      of

      10
     
     
      representing
      over

      The
      distinct

      clause,
      standing
      as
      it
      was
      in
      the
     
     
      Meech
      Lake,
      would
      have
      been
      fought
      over
      for
      the
      next
     
     
      100
      years,
      as
      it
      was
      not
      defined
      into
      a
      legal
      meaning.
     
     
      Quebec
      would
      have
      used
      the
      clause
      to
      try
      to
      gain
     
     
      special
      priviledges
      and
      the
      rest
      of
      Canada
      would
      have
     
     
      ited
      to
      stop
      them.

      Brian

      he
     
    

    
     
      iad
      said
      the
      country
      would
      go
      to
      rack
      and
      ruin
      if
     
    

    
     
      Meech
      Lake
      wasn’t

      From

      must
     
     
      consult
