THE HERALD Wednesday July 11 1M0 Page Public meeting Turner take a positioniintil September By BE the Herald Quebec should either com promise its position or leave the country That s the message approx imately people gave Halton Peel MP Garth Turner to take back to Ottawa during an emotionally charged meeting last Thursday night at the Georgetown Lions Club A round of applause followed after one audience member shouted the only way to bring Canada- together is to stop giving more of it away to Quebec The man then went on to say Clyde Wells should run for prime minister Mr Wells as the Premier of Newfoundland was an outspoken critic of the accord In an attempt to sum up the feel ings of the audience Mr Turner said I hearing Quebec has to heel its demands or get lost to which most of the audience responded with a resounding yes But at least one person sug gested the people attending the meeting were being too intolerant of Quebec and its proclaimed needs I feel there is too much an tagonism and hatred here and it fare well for the country the man said Both during and following the meeting Mr Turner t of a specific solution that the government should tarry out to overcome the current impasse He would only say that he didn t want Quebec to separate A quarter of the coun try would be gone he lamented Mr Turner said he wouldn t take a position until September And to arrive at that decision he will keep your the audience thoughts in his pockets and Canada in my heart to do my small part to keep us together This fall will be an explosive time said Mr Turner because that s when the Quebec sion will hold a series of public hearings to determine Quebec future He predicted that Quebec s demands to stay in Canada will be much greater than those in the Lake Accord Speaking

to Quebec the more they 11 demand They were referring for example to the federal government decision to give the CF18 jet contract to a Quebec company instead of one in Manitoba Canada has to start standing up to Quebec meaning if it can ac cept what it has it shouldn t be prevented from separating a speaker said But if it does separate it should be on the condition that it sever all ties with Canada That means it has its own military currency and postal service people said And they predicted if faced with this situation Quebec would back down But Mr Turner responded say ing I don believe they are bluff ing And anyone who believes the rest of the country wouldn suffer economically if Quebec separated is crazy he added The Quebec people believe they have said yes to Canada at three different times during the past years said Mr Turner but in the llth hour we said no to Quebec Mr Turner said the three times Quebec said to Canada were in when the majority in Quebec voted no to sovereignty association in 1386 when the ma voted out the Parti and in when Robert signed the Meech Lake Accord Mr Turner suggested that maybe the old Canada in which bilinguahsm and have defined the country for the last years t make sense anymore Instead the country may be moving to a regional situa in which French is the sole language of Quebec and English is the sole language spoken in the rest of the country Peel IMP Turner points to the Canadian flag to em a point during last Thursday emotion packed meeting the public at the Georgetown Lions Club Mall Herald Photo he said that Lucien

themselves as independents will soon form a new party with Quebec separation as its mandate In an interview following the debate Mr Turner said he t surprised by the people s negative reaction to
