province right now but he could call referendum himself if the Liberals come to power in the next election In certain sense Quebecers are not ready to make this decisive choice Ryan said Tuesday in an openline radio show on RadioCanada the Frenchlanguage CBC But they could be ready in three years five years or maybe 10 years when the situa tion ripens in their minds Ryan who said in telephone interview after the show that he was expressing his per sonal opinion and not the party position told the radio audience that if he became premier he would call referendum after negotiations had taken place with the rest of Canada When negotiations are completed and the situation is clear can foresee the holding of referendum His comments followed persistent question ing from caller who finally asked him Then does this mean that you will hold referendum The Parti Quebecois government has said it will hold referendum next spring to ask on their constitutional future Federal officials including Pierre Trudeau have voiced support for the new ly established Frenchlanguage secondary school at Penetanguishene Trudeau accused the provincial govern ment of failing to adhere to its own

sovereignty but would keep economic links with the rest of Canada RadioCanada reporter who asked Ryan about his statements after the show Tuesday said the Liberal leader had told him the referendum would only be held after agree ment had been reached with the other parties involved in the negotiations These discussions would be held with the other provincial governments in Canada as well as with the federal government Ryan told the reporter Later Ryan said the negotiations would be held in an attempt to devise renewed form of federalism and would be aimed at produc ing new text for modified constitution What said was that referendum should come after agreement has been reached with the other governments as to what changes should be made Asked whether he would hold referendum if Quebec failed to reach agreement in the negotiations he foresees with Ottawa and the other provinces Ryan replied No would call an election wouldnt hold referendum the community who established the high school on their own this month The Simcoe County Board of Education decided in June not to build separate and distinct school for the French of the area and Dr Stephenson who has been con sidering the issue has delayed making decision since that time Yalden said new school is in the end the only sensible solution While the existing high school offers core courses in French other courses are taught in English only which makes it tough on the French student to maintain his language Yalden said Taxi fares here going up By DENNIS LANTHIER Of The Examiner The Taxi fares are going up in Barrie ef

mayor Ross Archer agreed The re quest is relatively modest he said Im sure well have to come back in the Spring and take another look Laplante said that some passengers he has talked to would prefer
