 | | According to Mandel, what this clause essentially did was to give modest supervision of such agreements to the courts. | | | According to Mandel the real point of this provision was to put the Court beyond the reach of the federal government. | | | With Vriend and Morgentaler: after the Courts made their decision, the governments didn’t try to redraft legislation or use an override clause because it was politically too risky (especially using the override clause). |

| | Some have said the limitations on the federal spending power under the recent social union agreement are as far-reaching as Meech, which guaranteed federal compensation for provinces that opted out of shared-cost social programs, provided their own program was "compatible with the national objectives." This is quite wrong. | | | Under the social union, Ottawa decides whether provinces have met the conditions for federal funding; under Meech, the courts would have decided. | | | The federal government did sign immigration agreements with Quebec and other provinces as provided for in Meech, though unlike in Meech, none of these have been given constitutional standing. |

| | Whether or not Quebec's constitutional demands were satisfied by the Accord -- a matter of some dispute -- it is clear that Senate reform for the West, or provincial status for the territories, or indeed any other amendment would have been impossible. | | | By contrast, the only way to repair the Meech opting-out provision would have been to amend the constitution. | | | Despite its massive unpopularity at the time, he said, thanks to recent federal initiatives "the provisions of Meech are today almost all in effect" -- yet without achieving its signal purpose of securing the government of Quebec's acceptance of the 1982 Constitution. |

| | Meech Lake gave Québec control over immigration to that province, agreed that Senate appointments would be made from a list submitted by the provinces, recognized Québec as a "distinct society," allowed provinces to opt out of federal schemes provided they introduced their own, and established a formula for changing the constitution. | | | In the other provinces, the process through which agreement had been initially obtained was criticized as being too closed and exclusive. | | | The Accord also specified a deadline of June 22, 1990 to have the Accord passed by the House of Commons and the legislatures of all provinces. |

| | Cohen reveals that Turner's support for the Meech Lake Accord's `interpretative' distinct society clause violated his party's official position of recognizing the distinctive character of Quebec only in the preamble of the Constitution. | | | Cohen rightly demonstrates that had Howard Pawley been his own man he would most likely never have signed the accord and, had Filmon acquired a majority government, he would have ratified the accord regardless of Bourassa's Bill 178. | | | Yet Cohen's analysis of Clyde Well's objections to the accord and his role in its eventual demise is neither enlightening nor objective. |
