In particular, during the constitutional period of 1980-81, there was an occasion during December 1980 when the government was about to make a change in its constitutional strategy, a change that I think inevitably would have cost the government of the day the support of the Ontario and New Brunswick governments. The entire constitutional exercise would have been done in.
En particulier, durant les négociations constitutionnelles de 1980-1981, je me rappelle qu'en décembre 1980, le gouvernement a presque modifié sa stratégie constitutionnelle d'une manière qui lui aurait, à mon avis, inévitablement coûté l'appui des gouvernements de l'Ontario et du Nouveau-Brunswick et qui aurait forcément coulé tout l'exercice constitutionnel.
