Over the past two ears, federal, provincial, territorial and Aboriginal leaders —
have consulted with thousands of Canadians and concerned groups from coast {o coast.
These consultations included Royal Commissions, participatory conferences, parlia-

, 8 mentary hearings, and hearings in the provinces and .
territories held by provincial and territorial legislatures.
Federal, provincial, territorial and Aboriginal !eaders have
agreed unanimously on August 28, 1992 in Charlottetown
on a package of constitutional proposals that recognizes
the equality of all Canadians and represents all of our
interests. The agreement is now before Canadians.
. The agreement craposes that the new Constitution
would contain a statement of key economic and social objectives shared by all of the
governments in the federation. The objectives include comprehensive, universal,
portable, accessible and publicly administered health care, adequate social services
and benefits, high quality primary and secondary education and reasonable access to
post-secondary education. collective bargaining rights af :
. and a commitment to protecting the environment. The
economic policy objectives to be entrenched would be
aimed at strengthening the Canadian econemic union:
the free movement of persons, goods, services, and cap-
ital; ensuring full employment and a reasonable standard
of living for all Canadians; ensuring sustainable and
equitable development.
.  Exelusive provincial jurisdiction would be recognized i in the areas of forestry,
ing, tourism, housin recreation, municipal affairs, cultural matters within the
™ province; and labour market development and training. In
addition, to ensure the two levels of government work in
harmony, the government of Canada commits to negotiat-
ing agreements with the provinces in areas such as immi-
gration, regional development and telecommunications.
Federal-provincial agreements on any subject could be
protected by the Constitution from unilateral change.
: The new Canadian Constitution would recognize
the distinct nature of Queizer, based on its French language, unique culture and civil
law tradition."

in the reformed, Parliament, the Senate would
reflect the equality of the provinces while the House of
Commons would be based more on the principle of
representation by population. As well, various provinces
woutd be assured a minimum amount of seats in the -
House of Commons.
The proposed Senate would be made up of six
: ig elected senators from each province and one from each
territory, Additionat seats would provide representation for Aboriginal peoples. The.
eformed Senate's powers should significantly increase the role of the elected Senators
iri the policy process.

The proposals recognize that Aboriginal peoples have an inherent right to self-
government and that the Constitution should enable them to develop self-government
arrangements and to take their place in the Canadian federation. The proposals recognize
Aboriginal governments as one of the three constitutionally gm
recognized orders of government in Canada. in addition,
the proposals provide for a negotiation process between
Aboriginal leaders and provincial and federal governments
to put this righ? into effect. The recognition of the inherent
right would fot create any new rights to land, nor dilute

existing treaty rights.

Now that Canada's federal, provincial, territorial
and Aboriginal feaders have reached a consensus, it is the right of all Canadians fo
understand the new proposals. Cail the toll-free number below to receive an easy-to-read
