Mr. Parizeau supports a plan for the sovereignty of Quebec, where Quebec would have significant political independence while retaining economic ties with Canada. He said public support for the independence of Quebec was growing, and delineated the plan for Quebec's sovereignty. Under the plan, Quebec would raise its own taxes, provide its own legislature to make its own laws and treaties, and govern its own municipal concerns. Mr. Parizeau expressed his concern that the Quebec and Canadian business community should support the sovereignty of Quebec, and discussed the effect of Quebec's sovereignty on the U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/17387-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/17387-1 Thu, 24 May 1990 00:00:00 GMT Ms. Campbell spoke at a luncheon at the Johns Hopkins School for Advanced International Studies on the future of Canadian unity and independence movements. She discussed the movement and negotiations for the sovereignty of Quebec. In her remarks, Ms. Campbell, Canada's Minister of Justice, pointed out that Canada was the U.S.' largest trading partner, and thus events in Canadian politics should concern the United States. She said Canada might be bound to undergo an "identity crisis" every few years, and these self-examinations and comparisons with other countries may have negative repercussions on reform movements in Canada. She said the independence movements in Canada does not mean fundamental weaknesses in the political structure, but rather a healthy vibrancy that exists in all countries to some degree. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/17643-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/17643-1 Thu, 24 May 1990 00:00:00 GMT current news events and political issues were examined through reviews of the morning newspapers; interviews with journalists, newsmakers and legislators; and viewer telephone calls, faxes and electronic mail. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/67996-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/67996-1 Thu, 24 May 1990 00:00:00 GMT Issues raised by members of the Canadian House of Commons in questions to the deputy prime minister and the cabinet of the Canadian government during question time included compliance of Canadian automobile manufacturers to an international trade pact, and the role of Canada in negotiations concerning a North American Free Trade Agreement.
