Description
The Supreme Court decision on Quebec, delivered in August 1998, was hailed as a victory by both federalists and sovereigntists.

David Schneiderman, Executive Director of the Centre for Constitutional Studies at the University of Alberta, provides a thoughtful introduction to the decision and the debates surrounding it.
