Professor Meekison sets out to identify and evaluate the options available in Canada's present constitutional impasse. He begins his analysis with a detailed review of the lengthy history of Canada's constitutional problems and the efforts made at various times to solve them. He then turns to the proposals expressed in the federal government's 1991 discussion paper, examining five of the more crucial ones in detail. Professor Meekison concludes on a note of cautious optimism.
