SUMMARY |
|
|
|
This enactment allows the Government of Canada to determine
whether a referendum question in Quebec is clear and unambiguous. If
it is not, a parallel referendum will be held on the same day to ensure a
clear question on separation from Canada.
|
|
|
|
If an affirmative answer is given to a clear question, the enactment
authorizes the negotiation of separation, subject to the approval of the
rest of Canada by referendum.
|
|
|
|
It affirms that a unilateral declaration of independence is ineffective
with respect to Canadian law and does not affect the functioning of the
Canadian Parliament, Government and courts with respect to Quebec.
