The NDP opposition leader was guest speaker ata North Vancouver Chamber of Commerce luncheon meeting which attracted a Capacity crowd of about 150 North Shore business people to the Coach House Inn. Barrett began by offering his audience words of caution about the results of last Tuesday's Quebec referendum. He warned against the temptation to assume that the victory of the “no's” meant there was now an easy road to constitutional change. He warned against rushing too hastily into consututional talks. “Nothing,” he © said, “should be done too quickly after such an emotional experience.” Everyone involved, must have the © opportunity to participate, he stressed -- making par- ticular reference to Canada’s “multicultural” character.
