Minister Trudeau today to cut the provinces out of their aboriginal. rights discussions.“ ‘The final day of a constitutional conference on aboriginal rights began with little chance that a proposal, “made ‘Thursday by Prime Minister Trudeau to guarantee the principle of native self-government tn the Constitution, has any hope of passage. The meeting made little progress this morning, with, “Trudeau, as chairman, allowing the discussion to wander - ‘all over the map of native concerns, from séx equality, to self-government to strengthening the role of the territories. Frustrated by. thé: degree’ of. provincial. opposition, "Alberta Indian leader Harold Cardinal said the federal ‘governtnent must introduce 4 parliamentary resolution to protect Indian rights ‘with or ‘without the coneurrance: of _ the provincial governments.” - We feel that the time has come for us to exercise what ‘we perceive to be our spectal poaltion in the: Coriatltution, ” Cardinal said. » Indians have a speclal relationship with ‘the federal ent because they aré a federal responsibility under — the Constitution Act, i867 (formally called the British North ’ Ameria Act) and becalize of their treaties, Cardinal sald.

A total of 64,000 jobs were added to the scene, more than ‘making up for the disappearance of 47, 000 jobs in January, the agency’ said,, However, the Unemployment rate was pushed higher for . the second consecutive month because of a. worsening situation for people 25 years old or more, and the fact that more: people were actively seeking jobs, © The, numbers do not include people who ‘have given up looking for work because they believe none exists, : a sign that people are more optimistic about finding jobs Vand have, started searching again. . Opposition party Epokesmen said the numbers suggest the cointry is once again tedtering on the brink ‘of receaston’ and expressed fears: the jobless toll will. worsen in the coming ‘months with the influx of graduating ‘students into the labor force. “What really concerns me is that we havea government : now with a Jame-duck | leader,” said James McGrath, .

Unemployment now has increased in each month of 1984 after falling in steps since February 1983, to a low of 11.1 per Pent in October, November and-December. , The development is the first dose of bad news this week - for the rullng Liberals. The party has enjoyed a atring of favorable. develop- ments, ranging from a fresh Gallup poll’, showing the Liberals narrowing thé Conservatives’ commanding lead in public popularity to a Supreme Court of Canada ruling, - giving Ottawa ownership of thie oil-rich Hibernia field off the East Coast. MeGrath said Canada’s record on jobs is diamal com- pared with the United States,.which enjoyed a drop in its ; unemployment rate’ to 7.8 pér cent last month from eight ”. per. cent.” “We're in a very serious situation,” McGrath said, referring to the slipping value of the Canadian dollar and the expectation of higher interest rates. “We could be on the. verge of another economic recession."

While McGrath. welcomed a marginal easing in the unemployment rafe for young people, he said more at- tention has to be focured on creating jb epportunlties for those over ihe age of 25, Conservatives and NEW Democrats have been united ir their condemnation: of last ‘mionth’s federal budget for failing to take significant actidh on the employment front.
