Original Toronto Star caption: Seat of power: Joe Clark lays claim to the seat reserved for the prime minister - and obviously likes it - as MPs crowd into the Senate to hear the Throne Speech by Governor General Ed Schreyer outlining the year's program of Clark's Tory governement. His seat in the Commons might not be so comfortable today as opposition parties attack the program.
