Without fail, your representative must negotiate a
solution that will meet the needs of every province and
will return Canada, once and for all, to a strong federation

The Reform Party of Canada, with the assistance and
endorsement of members from every. province and
territory, has carefully built a plan and offers it to all
Canadians - regardless of home province, place of birth or
culture.
Equality of all provinces and equality of all
citizens forms the foundation of the plan.

into the provincial jurisdictions of language, culture,
employment training, social services, municipal
affairs, sports, recreation{ housing and tourism will
allow all province to express their individual
diversities and keep Canada the unique nation that it
is. Our fathers of confederation envisioned this split of
• powers.
Reform's plan needs one endorsement - yours - on Monday
June 2, 1997. to make tt the roadmap for Canada's great
future. Please assist us, -
