Quebec Premier Rene Levesque (right) gets together with Prime Minister Brian Mulroney for an animated chat at the Federal Provincial conference on Aboriginal Rights in Ottawa April 2, 1985. In a bid to redress setbacks in the 1981 constitutional talks, Levesque has strived to strike a deal on the Constitution, demanding exclusive jurisdiction over language, almost complete exepmtion from the federal Charter of Rights and recognition of Quebecers as a distinct people.
