This special issue of Constitutional Forum is a compilation of never-before-published notes and observations on meetings of the provincial and federal NDP leaders and between the provinces and the federal government leading to the final patriation deal in 1981. They are presented by Dr. Howard Leeson, former Deputy Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs for the province of Saskatchewan at the time, and are a valuable addition to the historical record surrounding the patriation of Canada's Constitution.
