Thank you. The final recommendation, Mr. Chairman, is, I move that the committee recommend that, prior to pursuing either constitutional or non-constitutional means of implementing any part or parts of the Charlottetown Accord, the Legislative Assembly and the government should consider, in the context of the strong mandate given in the northern referendum results, the priorities and means of achieving our objective, bearing in mind the political, social, economic and fiscal implications of this course of action.
