Abstract

On June 4, 1981, a meeting was held in Winnipeg by the ministers of intergovernmental affairs for the eight provinces that were opposing the federal government’s plan on patriation. Their intentions were to review the various elements of the plan to stop patriation from taking place.

Below are my notes of that meeting. They have been altered somewhat in order to make them more understandable. The original notes as I recorded them are in italics. Explanatory notes follow in standard type within brackets to provide background and/or to clarify the comments by the Ministers.
