The leaders of the 10 Canadian provinces have been meeting All week on a proposed amendment that Quebec has demanded be passed before it signs the 1982 Canadian Constitution which it says fails to recognize Quebec As a French speaking society. The province has threatened to secede Over the Issue.

Mulroney said that if the agreement is finalized it will be a a very Good development for Canada for All canadians. It completes the constitutional process of making the country whole  but Newfoundland Premier Clyde Wells a constitutional lawyer who opposed the amendment told reporters a there is a Roadblock. All of us have a problem. We will Deal with details in the  reports said the Bone of Contention is the amendments distinct society clause. A spokesman for Mulroney said there was a abroad agreement on a final package Deal that included a provision that constitutional experts will write a Legal opinion about the relationship Between the distinct society clause and the charter of rights and freedoms. The three provinces that oppose the Meech Lake Accord a Manitoba Newfoundland and new Brunswick a wanted a clause inserted into the Constitution ensuring that the distinct society clause would not override the nations charter of rights and freedoms. The spokesman said the Legal opinion to be attached to the agreement would determine the relationship Between the distinct society clause and the charter of rights and freedoms. Reports said Wells also won an agreement for a provision that the distinct society clause would be examined periodically to ensure that it had not demeaned the charter. But when the final Legal text was presented to him the provision was missing. The tentative agreement reached Friday night also specifies that a so called Canada clause addressing aborigines rights the multicultural nature of Canada and the relationship Between its English and French founding cultures will be negotiated in a future round of constitutional talks. The apparent breakthrough in the constitutional impasse came late into the sixth straight Day of negotiations when it appeared the talks would collapse. Reports said the leaders reached agreement on Senate Reform in which the leaders will try Over the next few years to create an elected Senate with More equal representation from All provinces. But negotiations were at the Point of collapse late thursday after Quebec Premier Rpbert Bourassa said he would no longer participate in discussions about the distinct society clause. They were further threatened Friday when the Newfoundland Premier said he was fed with up the secretiveness of the talks and also threatened to abandon the negotiations. The negotiations had reached a fevered pitch because the Meech Lake Accord must be approved by the Legislatures of All 10 provinces by june 23 or it becomes void. The constitutional talks have preoccupied canadians for months. Opinion polls indicate that the majority of those outside Quebec oppose the Meech Lake Accord because it gives the province a special status. Most canadians believe Quebec will separate from Canada regardless of what happens to the Meech Lake Accord. Quebec opinion polls confirm that sentiment with the majority of the French speaking people including those in the business Community supporting  surrenders after hijacking soviet jetliner Stockholm Sweden apr a teen age runaway carrying a fake grenade hijacked a soviet Airliner with 121 people aboard and forced the Pilot to land at an Airport near Stockholm Early saturday police said.
