RÉSOLUTION

The Supreme Court of Canada having decided that the federal proposal respecting the Constitution of Canada decreases the powers of the National Assembly of Québec and that unilateral action by the federal government, although legal, is unconstitutional, being contrary to the conventions, this Assembly demands that the federal government renounce its unilateral course of action, is opposed to any action that could impair its rights and affect its powers without its consent, and requests the federal and provincial governments to resume negotiations immediately, with full respect for the principles and conventions that must appLy to any modification of the Canadian federal system.
