away One day perhaps But not now The one practical suggestion the NDP did make was that the government provide instruction services in French for mcmbers and senior civil servants This would be worthwhile would 0probably be taken alien tage and also would create goodwill In Quebec But the other proposals while probably sincere have such an air of hosts about themyou have to suspect political
