| Title |
Sovereignty or the Status Quo? The 1995 Pre‐Referendum Debate in Quebec
|
| Abstract |
The author traces the loss of the Yes side in the 1995 referendum on Quebec sovereignty to the Parti Québécois government's pre-referendum National Commission on the Future of Quebec. The author argues that not only did this public inquiry not whip up support for sovereignty, its supposed purpose, it instead brought into focus Quebecers' deeply divided concerns over the sovereignty issue, such as economics, language, and minority rights. The Commission, he concludes, produced a boomerang effect that magnified the cleavages in Quebec society.
