QUEBEC (CP) — The
definition af sovereignty-
association hammered out
by the Parti Quebecois at its
weekend canventidn hare ia a
vote for Canada, Premier
René Levesque told
delegates Sunday ‘night. :

In the final speech of the
three-day meeting,
Levesque referred to a
-headline in a. Montreal
Sunday newspaper which
sald the PQ had voted for
Canada
Boverelg:
associated with the reat of
Canada, .

Although references to the

- headline drew ‘boos from

‘some delegates; Levesyue

’ said that “essentially, it's
true." 7

He said a Quebec-Canada
association |‘‘between
equals" would “an ae-
commodation based on
strength instead of

weakened by confrontation,” |

“What we're proposing is
not a crumbling or a
breaking up but a new
start,” he added.

Levesque sald that under
the pregent system, there
are two levels of government
that "step on each other's

Sovereignty: for Quebec

* would do away with one of

them and give Quebecers a
government ail their own,

“For the first time, they
can furnish it dnd decorate it
as they like," he sald, adding
that would be a setae
of ” “pride > and ac:
complishment” in being able
wdeso oc.

Earlier in his speech, Le-
veaque delivered a lon
attack on federalism : an '
called le who support it
“aad-faced horsemen who
try hard to beat you down.”

Federalism would
“confine ua to a dead end
~wntil the end ‘of time,” he
said, adding that the present
sitiation.in Quebec made
him ‘think of ‘one of those

_ strange August days where

the sky Is divided Into two
contrasting and even con-
tradlétory horizons.”

. Federalism was one aide of
the sky with ‘clouds Ike a
black and apy wall where
thére are only a few pale

rays of light, the source of
which is dying, - ‘
“It’s against this . bleak
backdrop that the sad-faced
horsemen go back -and
forth,” he said.“
“What we have to propose,

goes for private needs, with
the rest going to the public
