I don't think his point was "it's hard, don't do it", but rather that if you are going to open constitutional talks, issues like provincial rights, the question of Quebec and others are far more important than who is the technical head of state. If we're going to alter the constitution, I'd rather see a complete and total overhaul of how we elect our federal government - ideally to find a way to minimalize the politics of playing one region against another as a meaningful strategy. Though really, you could do all at once... assuming you don't go down in flames the way Meech Lake and Charlottetown did.
