prime minister Trudeau key constitutional Lyons refusal to accept on principle the idea of a charter of rights is unreal environment minister John Roberts said yesterday in an interview with the free Roberts and jus Tice minister Jean Chretien Are tru Deaus key lieutenants on the cons Titu realistic suggestions the prime minister in his statement the other night from Korea indicated that the Ball was in the provinces court and Bennett has picked it up and Hes trying to be i in seeking from the provinces some realistic Roberts quite if Ive understood Lyon Hes saying he wants a ban on the charter of rights and i think that clearly not being that not a responsible response to the door that the prime minister has left a Little bit Roberts said Lyons hard line matches that of Levesque who is dedicated to the separation of the prov Ince of so while there have been some encouraging signs from some of the Lyon called provinces like you have to realistically say that Levesque and Lyon together Are showing themselves to be entirely Levesque yesterday placed before the Quebec National Assembly a motion calling on the Federal government to renounce its unilateral course of action and resume negotiations with the prov inces with full respect for the Princi Ples and conventions that must apply to any modification of the Canadian Feder Al the Quebec Premier also has indicated he May Call an election on the subject or on Lyon has so far stopped Short of such a intransigence by Lyon and Levesque drives Home the hopelessness of try ing through the past conventional processes to get

decision came the supreme court ruled 72 monday that Ottawa has the Legal right to go ahead with its plan to bring Home the 1867 British North America include a charter of rights and add an Amend ing but it also ruled by a vote of fr3 that the Federal government was going against a constitutional convention re Quiring provincial consent to changes affecting provincial Powers in a Federal nation Roberts yesterday seemed to take that in the nature of conventions is that they change with changing Roberts i think weve demonstrated pretty clearly that the prov inces Are not collectively ready to

Canada therefore is in a new and in a new you have to develop new constitutional responses to Deal with Chretien said in an interview with the Montreal French language daily be Devoir that he is prepared to consider changes in a charter of but Roberts said yesterday he is almost certain Ottawa will not go so far As to accept simple Patria Tion with an amending formula and agree to leave the charter for charter Central i cannot conceive that we would want to put ourselves in that Given the attitude of the prov Ince of Quebec or Given the attitude of the province of it is quite Clear that the charter of rights would not be Able to be and we do believe that the charter of rights is an integral and Central part of the proposals that we Are putting Quebec would have a veto under the new Constitution and Manitoba could line up with other dissident provinces to the same Roberts said Ottawa would be foolish not to listen to any proposals for changes in the but they would have to be changes that would not transgress the principles that we put in i doubt very much that it would be in the cards that we would have Patria Tion without the charter of rights in Hopes of getting the
