THIS WEEK AND NEXT •by Ray Argyle JOYEUX NOEL A, year of Centennial cele- brations which included a mile- stone Confederatiaon of Tomor- row Conference, has clearly set the stage for the creation of a new Canada. , The new Canada which will develop during the next 10 to 15 years will be drastically cid- .,ferent from the one in which today's adult Canadians grew up., yet it is being formed by Canadians who are willing to break with the past, and to abandoti the prejudices and con- ventional modes which domina- ted Canadian life in the fiKst half of this century. P.olitically, the most ,signifi- cant development of Centennial Year has been the swing to fed- eralism within Quebec's, Liberal and' Union Nationale parties. Despite - or perhaps because of -; the strident rallying cry of Gen. de Gaulle, Quebec ap- pears to,,,be ready to give the emerging new Canada a chance of surviyal before cutting itself adrift' from Confederation. • ,, In reality', the -moderation of Premier Johnson and Quebec mainly a response to English- speaking Canada's willingness to re -make Confedekation. The much -feared "English backlash.", it is now clear, has been greatly overrated. While many English-speaking Canad- ians will never understand what 'it is that Quebec wants, their resistance will remain passiye, not active. What Quebec wants, of course, is a first-class role for the French language and the French culture, and a position of equality with English in all major phases of -Canadian life,. political and commieciel. The Canadian politicians who conanue to ask "What does Quebec want" are simply reveal- ing how thick-headed they are. . The French Fact in Canada is really not so different than the Negro Fact in America. In both cases, the majority has failed to understand or appre- ciate the aspirations of the min- ority. In both caseS, the minor- ity has sought equality, but in the past has been denied it. In both cases, the majority has en- joyed an economic status much superior to the..minority.

Now it, remains fqc them to be im- plemented. Looking back, it should not 1 really hav,been so difficult to foresee. After all, nearly one-third of Canada's peoplc. were of French origin and their language and culture was protected in both written nd common law, going •all the w y back to the English conquest Quebec in 1763. With th world-wide rise of 'nationalis in the 1960s, and the stir siir4xi of communication and eXication, the winds of chang could avoid Quebec no less than any other part of the world. The Confederation of Tomor- row Conference made it clear that. the premiers of the prov- inces are prepared to take part in the formation of a new con- stitution. ' The reports of the Bi -and Bl Royal Commission have %von acceptance from the federal 'government. Its main recom- mendations will be made into law. The next . deat forward step to the new Canada will be tak- en at the federal -provincial con- stitutional conference in Ottawa in January. - It will carry the Confedera- tion of Tomorrow Conference a step further and with federal sponsorship will lay down def- inite guidelines for future changes.
