16 The Canadlan Statesman, Bowmanville, Feb. 14, 1969 IMacDuff Ottawa Report Constitution ai Sit in A élaÉh between Justie Minlsten Pierre Elliatt Tru deau and Premider Danie Johnson of Quebec pointe up dramatically, at th, Canstitutional Conference the differences between Ot tawa and tbe French-speal Ing Province. Ail sessions of the Con. ference but one, were oper ta the press. The ail-sceini eye of the television cameri carrled the discussions, thE colour and the lengthy speeches, across tbe coun- trY. Canadians as well as niembers of the press were prnileged to st in - for the first tume - at a Federal- Provincial Constitu t i o n a1 Conference. They saw delegates after a long day, dnopping off bi sleep, or dozlng fitfuily, un- aware that the camera was focussed on tbem. Canadians were able to watch the bright humor ai Premier Joey Smallwood enliven the pracecdings. They saw and heard Premier W. A. C. Bennett of British. Columbia flashlng his famous sxnle almost con- tinually until fb became ine- some. They learned wby newspapermen have fre- ,quenbly neported that Mr. Bennett "clowned bis way" througb a conference. They saw Itbaah at first bond. Only once did Prime Min- ier Pearson decided ta step In quickly and close the- doors and shut off the Scame ras. That was wben the *viganous excbange between his French Canadian Justice MInister Trudeau and Pre- mier Johnson bbreatened to ,,get out of hand and wreck ziegotiatIons. As. the thnusts and caun- ('ter tbrusts bebween Trudeau ,and Johnson became more poinbed and barbed bbc dip- lomatie expert Mn. Pearson sbepped In and suggested it *was time for a coffee break. Me also pnaposed that bbe *Canference go behind ciosed doons afber bbe coffee break for a "working session" un- til the naon lunch-boni'. Thus the Prime Minister avolded what migbt have developed Into a sbowdown and a very awkward situa- tion. *Mr. Trudeau bas been hailed among fellow Que- beckers as the logical man ta run for the national leadership of the Liberal party,f£rom Frencb Canada. Mis chances In such a race couhd be considcrably en- hanced or weakened by bis performance at bbe Cansti- tutional Conference. He led the rebuttal of the Quebec Government's daim fan special status for Que- bec. He warncd that special ipawers for that Province icouhd undermine the position of Qucbec Members of SParliament at Ottawa. The lsituation cauld lead ta, the final separabion of Quebec from Canada. He suggested the answcr tothe canstitutional crisis was not more power for Quebec but beter Quebec Irepresentation In Pariament. Premier Johnson rejected such arguments. At anc point In the [ce wrangle the Premier sou u- to blunt Trudeau's s, iel gestion that Federal MV ed rcpnesented the people hc Quebec, by deluberately ýe, scnlblng the Justice Minls t- as "the memben for Moi k- Royal".

The Qucbec Premier argL cd that bilingualism acras the country was not enougi for Qucbec. Tb wantcd mon powers.

Ncwsmcn quesioning Mr. Trudeau as to the reasons for the bltbcrncss betwccrt bbc Premier and bimself said It was wehl known that bbc National Union Party in Quebec was detcnmined ta destroy French Canadian poliicians prominent in the Federal scene at Otbawa. He said be bad flot been surpriscd by tbc sharpness of the exchange. Indeed, some of bis cal- leagues said Mn. Trudeau wclcomcd lb. He enjayed the verbal duel with bis po- litical enemy. The clash reflecbed tbc increasing ex- asperation of tbe Qucbcc wing of Mn. Pearson's cab- Inct by Premier Jobnson's Posture and policies.
