Yes, because:

@ Canadians will be able to take
advantage of a unanimous agrec-
ment ameng 10° provincial
premiers, two territorial leaders,
the prime minister and four
aboriginal leaders;

@ our aboriginal people will fi-
nally be given their rights, in an
orderly, negotiated process and
within realistic timelines that will
prevent the issue from landing in
the courts for some time to come;
@ cus Constitution wii commit
governments to a number of social
principles, which include the goal
of full employment and « reason-
able standard of living;

@ Canadians will return to some
political and economic stability,
and everyone who invests in
Canada wiil be more likely to feel
confident in this country and its
future;

@ we will finally be able to put
an end to constitutional wrangling
because the passing of the Char-
jottetown Accord clears the slate
of all major constitutiona! issues,
and that means our governments
will be able to turn their atten-
tions to rebuilding our economy.

McDonald’s

Lonsdale Quay location

Former Crossings restaurant site

MCDONALD'S Canada has submitted a building permit
application to North Vancouver City’s planning depart-
ment for a McDonald’s restaurant adjacent to the entrance
of the SeaBus terminal at Lonsdale Quay.

The site for the proposed fast-
food restaurant is the main floor
of Crossings restaurant, which is
currently closed for renovations.

Because the property has al-
ready been approved for a restau-
rant, McDonald’s needs only a
building permit and a_ business
licence to start serving Big Macs
and pizza.

“The permit calls for some
minor changes to the outside, like
a new door,’’ a North Vancouver
City planning department
employee said. ‘‘The new restau-
rant won’t look like Crossings,
but on the other hand it won't
look like the traditional
McDonald’s either.”

The city employee said
McDonald’s is very conscious of
fitting into an area’s surround.
ings.

When contacted at McDonald’s
regional office in Burnaby by the
News to confirm the building
