II2 "we can only regard ttre proposals in tl:e Csnnittee for Original Peoples nrtitlenent paper, and the nethod of announcing it' as a breach of federal po1iry established as far back as 1973, and repeated.ly onfirned to us through the past five years". ftre letter also states that the executive ccnrnittee vig,vs ttre prcposed settlement for the r,rrcstern Arctic as prejudicilg the negotiation of tlre claim of the Yukon Ind.ian people, and nore specifically, ttre Yukon Indian people of Ol.d Crcnz. In 6is letter to the minister, Ccnrnissioner Pearson said "the fair an6 qr:itable settlenent of corpretrensive claims in Yr:kon is one of ttre nain goals of ttre Govenuent of Yukon. We have been exerbing a c-ollective effort with your Depar.trnent for senreral years wittt ttt-is conrTpn goal and nnrtr:al objective.

CcnnLittee, who is reoognized as an authority on the constitutional developnent of the territlfrJ, was appearing before the Joint Ccnmittee at the invitation of ttre Yukon Covernrn'ent. He r,€s acccnpanied by MLA Walter Lengerke, Riverdale, chairnan of the Standing Connittee on Constitutional DeveloSnrent ntade up of elected l,Hnbers in Yukon. Dr. Etliott told the Joint Ccnrnittee that sone of the deficiencies in BiIt C-60 r,vould deny the citizens of the territory the very eguality the Bill purports to proclaim, and listed those concerrls of particular relevance to Yukon. Thre fornrer Yukon student and Rlrodes Scholar, nc,\^/ a rnernber of tJ-e faculty of law at Carleton University, told the ccnrnittee that sqrer^irere in Bill C-50 there should be a provision stating tlrat "The principle of restrnnsible gover:trrent is a ftrndanental principle of the Constitution of Carnda" noting that it is probably the rost important non-federal characteristic of the Canadian Constitution. He said tlrat for the northern territories of Canada, wtlidr have not yet achieircd fiill responsible goverrrnent, the sigrnificance of tlre principle can hardly be overlookedr yet the references in the Bill to that principle "are either too \a$le and indirect or too narroir and inccnplete to give its great iryortance in Canada proper recognition. F:rcrn the r^ordilg of section 53, it rnight just as r^p1l be dessriJcing ttre operation of a nessenger serzice between tJ:e Prine l,tinister's office and that of the Governor Gerera'l . " On the subject of ultirnate prowincial status for the norbhern territories, Dr. Ellj-ott rsiljnded the ccnrnittee that in 1972 the Special Joilt CqnrLittee of the Senate and ttre House of Connrcns on the Constitution of Canada had reccnnrended tlnt: "The objectirre of Goventrent po1iq,' for Yukon and Ilcrtlmest Terzitories should be the fostering of self-governnent and prorrincial status." And he asked "Surely scne nention of these ultimate goals for the Canadian territories r,ould be appropriate il a general Statsnent of Aims of ttre Canadian Federation?" Itre Yukon spokesnan stressed the need for consultation witJ: the territories prior to any constitutional change, as the Bill proposes for tlre prorzi.:rces, and he guoted the section of Bill C-60 hrlaich snpov,er Parliarrent to al-ter the territorial limits of a territory without the express consent of tLre elected legrislative body. He asked "Surely the right to agree with or to refi:se a proposed alteration of territorial bor:ndaries should not depend on whether ttre people nrrst affected lirre in a province or a te:ritory?" He suggested tlrat the Bilt should have tte sane requirernents for oonsultati-on and consent for an alteration of tenitorial boundaries as for an alteration of provincial bor:ndaries. Dr. Elliotttold ttre cr:nnLittee tlnt the r'ord-i-ng of the Bill appears to have been drafted so as to attenpf. to preclude any recognition of the legal status of the territorial councils as legislative bodies. He concluded ttnt one interpretation of sestion 29 ould be "to avoid giving any re@grrition to tlre claim of many northerners ttnt the territorial Cor-nrcils constitute legislative asssnlclies, entitled despite their subordirnte statrrtory position to at least scne of ttre connon law 113
