Québec Sovereignty

Updated on May 5, 2015

  • "Our position is clear. Do the Québécois form a nation within Canada? The answer is yes. Do the Québécois form an independent nation? The answer is no and the answer will always be no." (6) Harper

  • Believes the government should consider reforming Canadian federalism, taking into account the need to consolidate Québec’s position within the Canadian federation due to the province not signing the Constitution Act, 1982 (4)


  • Voted in favour of, but vow to repeal the Clarity Act of 2000, which requires a “clear majority” vote for secession and states that “the Parliament of Canada (would have) the power to determine whether or not a referendum question was clear enough” (1, 3, 8)

  • Announced the Sherbrooke Declaration in 2005 and vows to put in place new legislation so that a 50 per cent-plus-one vote would be enough to constitute a clear majority and obligate the government to negotiate (2, 7, 8)


  • Proposed and still supports the Clarity Act of 2000 which calls for a “clear majority” vote for secession (1) and gives “the Parliament of Canada the power to determine whether or not a referendum question was clear enough to trigger such negotiations” (3)


  • “Recognizes the legitimate right of the people of Quebec to freely and democratically determine its full and undiminished sovereignty through a clear majority vote in Quebec on a clear question in favour of secession, provided it is politically and legally recognized by the international community.” (5)
