WORLD IN BRIEF : CANADA : Mulroney Bids Manitoba Act
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney urged the Manitoba provincial legislature to suspend the democratic process and ratify a constitutional amendment that could keep Quebec in Canada.

The amendment must be ratified by all 10 provinces by Saturday or it becomes null.
