The provincial government s prepared if the conference links it appropriate in the National interest to participate in devising a Canadian charter of human rights. The Premier cautioned against introducing rigidity into distribution of Respo Sibili ies and tax resources Between the Federal and provincial Levels of government. Manitoba has viewed the opting out development with mixed the Premier said a generally acceptable amending procedure in Canada will require that amendment of certain important provisions of the Canadian Constitution shall be Only Possi ble if All the provinces consent. This requirement of unanimous consent could prove frustrating to a province or a provinces desiring a change if that desire is not shared Biall the provinces. Manitoba is therefore anxious that any amending formula should contain a provision per mitting inter delegation of legislative Power Between Canada and the provinces. No such provision exists under the pre sent Constitution arid experience has shown this to be a deficiency which handicaps the provinces in a number of areas. Of natural products and control of inter provincial water resources Are just two examples of this said or. Weir. On a Bill of rights or. Weir said., the. of rights enacted by parliament in i960 recognized and declared the existence in Canada of certain fundamental rights and free Doms. All these rights and freedoms now exist and have always existed in Manitoba not because of abstract principles enshrined in a constitutional document but because they Are deeply embedded in the Law which the people of Manitoba inherited and developed and strongly support. Nevertheless Manitoba is pre pared to participate in devising a Canadian charter of human rights. This might include Clau ses covering political and Legal rights generally included in the Canadian Bill of rights. The proposed charter would presumably also include linguist eyewitness Vietnam Public meeting hear Rae Murphy editor of Canadian Tribune recently returned from Hanoi. Thursday feb. 8 8 . .

Premier Weir said that in practice Manitoba has found advisable in the major French speaking population centres to ensure bilingual qualifications in a number of appointments to lie Public service. He cited As an example that the City of St. Boniface has Long magistrate s and county courts. In addition he said most of Manitoba s. French speaking population is served by language radio and to. More recently Manitoba took an effective step he said to recognize the position of the French language in the Manit Oba school system. Premier Weir said that aside from the purely mechanical process of amending the Constitution there is thet far More difficult matter of adapting the Constitution to the Broad econ Omic and social requirements of the second century., of. Tensions have been created at Points where the British North America act does not offer precise guidelines or where the division of responsibilities and tax., resources has not proved adequate to the expanding needs of each level of government. Liis Inadequacy of the ban act is not surprising since Many of the present responsibilities of governments were riot Consi dered important in the said the Premier Manitoba believes that our past Success was due primarily to the flexibility inherent in our institutions and in the joint relation ships we established. We Are convinced it would be unwise to introduce rigidity into the distribution of responsibilities and tax resources bet Ween the two Levels of govern ment. Rather we should work together to develop methods which would assure each level of government adequate Means to fulfil its constitutional Respo he said. A sound basis for Federal and provincial collaboration would be where Levels of government came together to determine the essential needs iof the country appropriate to the particular times he said. In recent years most govern meets in Canada had come to appreciate that effective Consul tation is a primary requirement of Canadian federalism. The joint shared Cost programs illustrated to what extent the Federal government is now involved in responsibilities As signed to the provinces by the ban act such As natural resources social welfare High Way construction and higher education. While these programs have not involved the formal Transfer of constitutional responsibility in time provincial initiative in these Fields has been curtailed he said. Too often the Federal gov emment has unilaterally stimulated programming which is he constitutional responsibility f the provinces. Manitoba has rated its objections to these actions. Before measures of Mutual interest Are Manitoba believes that certain conditions of co operation must in met.
