Mr. Chairman, I guess my feeling is that yes, I do think it is a fair compromise. I do not think that we can predict in the future that we are not going to have unanimous consent on any particular issue. Look at what we have now, we have unanimous consent on a very, very complex package of issues. I do not think, once a territory aspires to provincehood, Canadians elsewhere would say to that new province "we are going to deny you equitable representation in the House of Commons and the Senate, now that you are now a province."
Particularly with principles being established that there will be equality of the provinces. I believe that in the future, when that time comes, it is going to be possible to negotiate that kind of representation in the two institutions of parliament. I think that what we have before us is a question being put to Canadians as a plebiscite, do you agree that this package should be supported or not? I think that, on balance, even though everything in the future has not been taken care of today, that the package should be supported, because what is there, is good. What is there is going to make tremendous change for aboriginal people, it is going to make a tremendous change for all of us in Canada who are going to have a better state of affairs, so that we can then turn our attentions to other issues that are before us.
Not everyone in Canada will be able to say I achieved 100 percent of my goals in this constitutional round, but then again, what we are all going to be able to do is say, boy there were sure an awful lot of goals achieved that are beneficial, let us accept them and carry on. I guess my answer to you is that, yes, I believe it is a fair compromise.
