Monarchy safe in Canada for now: Chretien

OTTAWA (CP) - Prime Minister Jean Chretien says he already has enough on his plate and doesn't need the added weight of monarchists rankled by the comments of a federal cabinet minister who favors abolishing the monarchy.

 "I find the timing of the remark not very good ... especially with the events of the last few weeks.

Chretien said he would need the consent of the of all the provinces and the House of Commons to abolish the monarchy in Canada.
