	(QUEBEC CITY) The head of Quebec's Equality Party fears the annual
St-Jean Baptiste Day Parade could turn into an angry nationalist march
against Canada...if the Meech Lake accord fails the day before.
	Meech Lake must pass by June 23rd of this year or die. St-Jean
Baptiste Day is June 24th.
	Equality Party Leader Robert Libman says a 250-thousand-dollar
Quebec government grant for the parade may be part of Premier Robert
Bourassa's plan to increase tension on opponents of the constitutional
deal...to add fire to Bourassa's theories that there may be
repercussions if Meech Lake doesn't pass.
	Libman points out a quarter-Million dollars for a parade is not
justified when Quebec has budget cuts all over the place.
