Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister. In the throne speech, the government announces that it will withdraw from a number of areas of jurisdiction. Curiously enough, these areas-namely job training, forestry, mining, and recreation-all come under the exclusive jurisdiction of the provinces. With a few exceptions, the areas in question are the same as those listed in the Charlottetown accord.
Does the Prime Minister confirm that his new constitutional position is based on the Charlottetown accord, but with something missing?
