Dorothy Peat, convener for the event, was very pleased with the turnout, as it attracted a very large crowd over the three days. "Friday evening was fabulous", said Peat. "We were a little worried because it was our fust attempt, but everything went fine." Although totals are not yet in, it is expected that the club raised between $5,000 and $5,500. The Rotary Club currently has 37 members and is very active raising funds for community projects, such as its recent donation of a lift to South Huron District High School for special needs children. All proceeds raised from the show and sale will go back into the community. Large crowds gathered at the Oakwood Inn Convention Centre over the weekend for the three- day hreeday Rotary Antique Show and Sale.

In addition, to ensure the two levels of government work in harmony, the governmenr of Canada commits to negotiating agreements with the provinces in areas such as immigration, regional development and telecommunications. Federal -provincial agree • ments on any subject could be protected by the Constitution from unilateral change The new Canadian Constitution would recognize the distinct nature of Quebec, based on its French language. unique culture and civil law tradition. A Social and Economic Union Avoiding Overlap and Duplication Distinct Society In the reformed Parliament. the Senate would reflect the equality of the provinces while the House of Commons would be based more on the principle of representation by population As well, various provinces would be assured a minimum amount of seats in the House of Commons The proposed Senate would be made up of six elected senators from each province and one from each territory Additional seats would provide representation for Aboriginal peoples. The reformed Senates powers should significantly increase the role of the elected Senators in the policy process The proposals recognize that Aboriginal peoples have an inherent right to self -government and that the Constitution should enable them to develop sett -government arrangements and to take -their place in the Canadian • federation The proposals recognize Aboriginal governments as one of the three constitutionally recognized orders of government in Canada. In addition, the proposals provide for a negotiation process between Aboriginal leaders and provincial and federal governments to put this right into effect. The recognition of the inherent right would not create any new rights to land. nor dilute existing treaty rights Now that Canada's federal, provincial. • territorial and Aboriginal leaders have reached a consensus. it is the right of all Canadians to understand the new proposals.
