Part of a profile of young Members of Parliament. This features Jean Chrétien and John Turner. Chrétien hopes that he won't be crucified at the beginning of his political career even though he is 33 years old, his name means Christian in English and his initials are J.C. The profile follows Chrétien around his constituency and records him speaking to a group of New Democrats. He tells them that compromise is everything and if offered a cabinet position he wouldn't turn it down. Chrétien discusses his growing commitment to federalism.~John Turner is described as a Rhodes scholar, Olympic contender, and definite contender for the leadership of the Liberal Party. Turner describes himself as a reformer and pragmatist. He addresses a conference of young Liberals. It strikes Turner that many young Liberals are more conservative than the elders in the party. He speaks about the power in numbers of youth to mobilize and participate in democracy. <33mn>
