Elaboration
[edit]1990 – Meech Lake Accord
- Was a constitutional amendment package negotiated to gain Quebec's acceptance of the Constitution Act, 1982
- Was negotiated and signed by all 11 First Ministers behind closed doors (part of its criticism) in 1987
- Would've recognised Quebec as distinct society, allow provinces to opt out of federal social progras to make own ones, created First Ministers conference (to discuss Senate reform, fisheries, and more such as equality and Indigenous issues), amended constitutional amendment process
- In accordance with Constitution Act, required ratification within 3 years by all 10 provinces; Quebec did so first, but Manitoba failed to finish hearings in time (despite all parties supporting it, MLA Elijah Harper singlehandedly fillibustered any attempt to allow unanimous consent to proceed without hearings as the accord didn’t consider Indigenous peoples as a party too) so a delayed deadline was suggested (which the new anti-accord Newfoundland premier used to argue against it, with his party voting in assembly to remove NL’s support)
- In response, MP Lucien Bouchard (PC minister) walks out of the party and founds the BQ alongside other PC and Liberal backbenchers
- Over time, Anglo Canadians views of the accord (and of Mulroney) went down too
- In 2017, QC premier Couillard (Liberal) proposed having Quebec sign the constitution with a proposal echoing this accord but J Trudeau shot it down
1992 – Charlottetown Accord
- Same goals as the Meech Lake Accord
- Negotiated between 2 QC committees, 2 other committees, federal and provincial/territorial governments, and Indigenous groups (AFN, Congress of Aboriginal Peoples, Inuit Tapirisat, Metis National Council)
- Would've recognized Quebec as distinct society (as part of 'Canada clause' of values), decentralised powers to provinces (forestry, mining, cultural affairs; remove Disallowance; allow provinces to opt out of federal social programs to make own ones; also eliminate interprovincial barriers), addressed Indigenous self-government, reformed House (more seats; at least 25% for QC) and Senate (equal number for each province, elected by provincial parliaments or people, effective a.k.a. less powers; for some matters require 'double majority' of both all senators and Franco ones)
- Supported by all 11 First Ministers, PCs, Liberals, and NDP; opposed to by Manning (Reform; for too much Quebec, not enough Senate reform), Bouchard and Parizeau (BQ and PQ; for not going far enough), PET, and Elijah Harper
- Could've been a constitutional amendment but Mulroney gov put it up to referendum
- Final result: 45% for vs 55% against; less than 50% in Yukon, BC, Prairies, QC, and NS
