On this point, it is important to state that if Labrador is at all affected by the Newfoundland Terms of Union, as is implied by our being here today, then the Terms of Union are also subject to and must be consistent with the living Constitution of Canada, which includes both section 35 and section 91.24 of the Constitution Act, 1867.
À ce propos, il convient de signaler que si le Labrador est le moindrement concerné par les Conditions de l'union de Terre-Neuve, comme semble l'indiquer notre présence ici, celles-ci doivent être conformes à la Constitution du Canada qui contient l'article 35 et le paragraphe 91.24 de la Loi constitutionnelle de 1867.
