Volume 3, No. 1 (1991) – Symposium Report After Allaire and Bélanger-Campeau

The idea for the symposium, conceived originally by Alan Cairns, was to gather together scholars to think imaginatively about our future constitutional prospects in a closed session. In this way, rhetorical stances could be replaced with genuine dialogue. Participants were asked to come, not with prepared papers, but only with their thoughts on a number of questions circulated before the meeting. This is a report of that discussion. Because of the closed nature of the symposium, the identity of speakers generally remain anonymous. Some of the participants, however, have kindly offered their views arising out of the symmposium, and they are included in this issue.
