Description

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

This book explains the reasons for this historic decision. It includes the full text of the Supreme Court's opinion together with essays and other key documents. 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. He has selected a wide range of essays that explore the profound implications of the Court's decision for Canada's future.

Anyone interested in Quebec and the future of Canadian federalism will find The Quebec Decision an invaluable resource.
