The Rise of Mario Dumont and the Adq THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME: THE RISE OF MARIO DUMONT AND THE ADQ Tasha Kheiriddin The stunning election in Quebec is widely seen as a result of the Liberals’ failure to capitalize on the collapse of the PQ, resulting in a surge of dissatisfied voters to Mario Dumont and promotion of the ADQ to official opposition in a minority House. But, writes Tasha Kheiriddin, there is another story, a gradual shift “from a federalist- separatist paradigm to a left-right axis.” The ADQ’s “autonomist” ambiguity on the national question “opens the door to a different level of debate,” she writes, “one which much of the rest of the world has been indulging in since the late 1970s.” It is a debate on the appropriate role of the state in the economy and in society as a whole. L’incroyable dénouement des élections québécoises est largement attribué à l’incapacité des libéraux de profiter de l’effondrement du PQ, cette défaillance ayant provoqué le transfert d’une vague d’électeurs insatisfaits vers l’ADQ de Mario Dumont, qui forme aujourd’hui l’opposition officielle d’un gouvernement libéral minoritaire. Mais selon Tasha Kheiriddin, on a aussi assisté au passage d’un « paradigme fédéralisme-indépendance à un axe gauche-droite ». C’est ainsi que l’ambivalence « autonomiste » de l’ADQ sur la question nationale a « ouvert la voie à un débat d’un autre type », écrit l’auteure, « ce même débat auquel s’adonne le reste du monde depuis la fin des années 1970 ». À savoir le débat sur le rôle de l’État dans l’économie et la société dans son ensemble. ommon wisdom has it that there were three stories controversy of 1926?

  • Economic Consequences of Constitutional Uncertainty: Evidence
    SCOTLAND’s ECONOMIC FUTURE POST-2014 SUBMISSION FROM PROFESSOR AILSA HENDERSON, PROFESSOR OF POLITICAL SCIENCE, UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH Summary This paper relates primarily to economic reactions to the 1995 referendum on sovereignty partnership in Quebec. The following occurred in 1995: the performance of Quebec-based firms on Montreal and Toronto Stock Exchanges decreased, bond market ratings decreased, the cost of government borrowing increased, and exchange rates suffered. Inflation, however, did not move throughout the ‘period of uncertainty’, which was thought to be a reward for anti-inflation policies pursued by the Bank of Canada. Background Quebec is a province within Canada whose government has jurisdiction over education, health, welfare, municipalities and transportation. With a population of just over eight million, 78% of whom have French as their mother tongue, it has 125 members in its National Assembly. Since the late 1960s there have been two main political parties in Quebec, the independence-seeking Parti Québécois and the federalist Liberal Party of Quebec. At times smaller third parties have had sizeable representation in the legislature. The Parti Québécois was created in 1968 and won its first election as a majority government in 1976, during which it called a referendum on sovereignty association in 1980. It lost the referendum (60% No, 40% Yes) but was re-elected with a majority government in 1981. It was elected again in 1994 and called a referendum on sovereignty partnership in 1995. It lost the referendum (50.6% No, 49.4% Yes) but was re-elected with a majority government in 1998. The PQ formed a minority government in 2012, called an election for 2014 but lost to the Liberal party.

Introduction As a teacher, in my instructions to students as they prepare their term papers, I often remind them that they should never abdicate their judgment to the authority of one single source. In the worst of circum- stances, it is much better to articulate one’s own ideas and convictions than to surrender to one single book or article. In the same spirit, I would urge readers not to rely solely on my pronouncements about the meaning of federalism in Québec. In truth, the title of this essay should include a question mark, and its content will illustrate, I hope, the richness and diversity of current Québec thinking on the subject. There are many ways as well to approach the topic at hand. The path I shall choose will reflect my academic identity: I am a political theorist and an intellectual historian, keenly interested about the relationship between philosophy and constitutional law in Canada, hidden in a political science department. As a reader of Gadamer and a former student of Charles Taylor, I shall start with some interpretive or herme- neutical precautions. Beyond the undeniable relevance of current re- flections about the theory of federalism in its most general aspects, the real question of this essay deals with the contemporary meaning of Canadian federalism in Québec.

  • The 1992 Charlottetown Accord & Referendum
    CANADA’S 1992 CHARLOTTETOWN CONSTITUTIONAL ACCORD: TESTING THE LIMITS OF ASYMMETRICAL FEDERALISM By Michael d. Behiels Department of History University of Ottawa Abstract.-Canada‘s 1992 Charlottetown Constitutional Accord represented a dramatic attempt to transform the Canadian federation which is based on formal symmetry, albeit with a limited recognition of some asymmetry, into an asymmetrical federal constitution recognizing Canada‘s three nations, French, British, and Aboriginal. Canadians were called up to embrace multinational federalism, one comprising both stateless and state-based nations exercising self-governance in a multilayered, highly asymmetrical federal system. This paper explores why a majority of Canadians, for a wide variety of very complex reasons, opted in the first-ever constitutional referendum in October 1992 to retain their existing federal system. This paper argues that the rejection of a formalized asymmetrical federation based on the theory of multinational federalism, while contributing to the severe political crisis that fueled the 1995 referendum on Quebec secession, marked the moment when Canadians finally became a fully sovereign people. Palacio de la Aljafería – Calle de los Diputados, s/n– 50004 ZARAGOZA Teléfono 976 28 97 15 - Fax 976 28 96 65 [email protected] INTRODUCTION The Charlottetown Consensus Report, rejected in a landmark constitutional referendum on 26 October 1992, entailed a profound clash between competing models of federalism: symmetrical versus asymmetrical, and bi-national versus multinational. (Cook, 1994, Appendix, 225-249) The Meech Lake Constitutional Accord, 1987-90, pitted two conceptions of a bi-national -- French-Canada and English Canada – federalism against one another. The established conception entailing a pan-Canadian French-English duality was challenged and overtaken by a territorial Quebec/Canada conception of duality.

Through my research I have found that both entities follow a very similar timeline with highs and lows coming around the same time in the same province; although, I have not found any direct linkage between the two. My analysis begins around 1837 and continues through present day, and by analyzing the histories of each movement demonstrates clearly that both movements followed a unique and similar timeline.

The change requires a re-thinking of “region,” one of the fundamental concepts in discussions of Canada as nation-state. In the past, the concept of region has enabled Canadians to come to terms with physical, cultural, and historical dif- ferences within the country and to imagine the community as an appropriate and cohesive whole.
