To the extent, for instance, that the focus is actually on Confederation as an act—the history of the meetings at Charlottetown and in Quebec City and so o
n—I think some very interesting accessibility issues will open up, because we will see that Confederation itself was, as Stephen and others wer
e saying, an act of compromise and of working out very important issues between what were at the time conceived to be the two nation
s that were working together, the Engl ...[+++]ish and the French.
Si on met l'accent sur la Confédération en tant qu'acte juridique — sur l'histoire des réunions de Charlottetown, de Québec, et ainsi de suite —, je pense qu'on soulèvera certaines questions d'accessibilité très intéressantes. En effet, comme Stephen et d'autres intervenants l'ont indiqué, la Confédération a été en soi un compromis.
