"It has become urgent to review the distribution of powers in our community."
-Rene Levesque
In early November, the Coalition for Quebec Regions launched the book Freeing Quebec to promote the establishment of territorial governments. In this collection of essays by different authors, there is a 1977 document, which was never published until now and where Rene Levesque himself expressed the need for profound changes in the sharing of responsibilities within the province.
The coalition members want to leave the areas of concentration of power that grows the government of Quebec to remain a strong central state. Removing all power to the inhabitants of the regions, excluding local elected vital decisions for communities, it creates a gap, that of indifference to public affairs on which they feel more control. Then comes the frustration with the government for its inability to solve problems, although individuals each region, but especially important and urgent as the exodus to the cities. The Quebec government requires a facelift, it becomes too heavy, too expensive and ineffective in terms of democracy. Parliament of Quebec, are stacked blithely regional focus issues, and specific cases of national records in a nonsensical brouhaha when even the report of importance of topics in relation to each other is lost.
What this group is saying is let's deal with the regions themselves, give them the means.
The publication of this work is therefore in a process of civic engagement that will lead to the Estates General of Quebec regions, possibly in 2008. The coalition knows that radical change such that the request requires the approval of the population. How to get it is probably at the number of subjects to be discussed at this event.
The Parti Quebecois must ensure inclusion on the guest list. Presents the opportunity to exercise leadership and make this forum a new vision of national struggle and a more regional approach of sovereignty.
The current game plan of the PQ is to create winning conditions for the holding of a referendum, to convince people to vote for the option and start the process toward independence. Following a second referendum on the adoption of a Constitution for our new country.
A credible alternative is to merge the two referendums. If the PQ enters the government, he engages the work of preparing internal sovereignty by convening a Constituent Assembly. The mandate of the Constituent Assembly will be limited in time because it will provide a draft constitution for an independent Quebec within two years. These allow the flexibility needed to minister to prepare the sovereignty referendum on the draft country before a General Election.
To demonstrate the link between sovereignty and development regions, the PQ and its new leader would propose to elect representatives on a regional basis, each region having equal weight. One can, for example, ask the citizens of each region to elect three representatives for a total of 51 elected (See annex).
Pauline Marois should not be afraid to clarify issues and to shed some light on the country to do, the way to go. The mistake, obscure ideas and vague concepts, let the Federalists.
This new approach speaks directly to voters who were asked, first, to imagine after all and decide, without interference from the rest of Canada, what kind of society we really want to live.
The Assembly members will create and territorial governments allocate resources and responsibilities between these and the central government in Quebec City. They include the Quebec Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Charter of the French language, the Assembly changed if necessary. They will also define a method of appointing judges to the Supreme Court and a formula for amending the Constitution.
The referendum will then oppose
A Québec Constitution, carefully considered and accepted as the population of Quebec will have increased the PQ in power to convene a Constituent Assembly, she will have chosen their delegates and the ideas they convey. This is a highly democratic path that commands respect and to which every citizen will feel bound, as there will participate in one way or another. Power to the people.
The status quo, the Constitution of Canada, repatriated by English Canada without Quebec's agreement in 1982, and since no Quebec government has agreed to ratify. The fundamental law of Canada is based on contempt for the Quebec nation and yet, despite a glaring lack of democratic legitimacy, Quebec must comply and submit. Democracy in canadian.
But this logic assumes that the PQ review his speech largely if not entirely. Primarily, the referendum ceases to represent the time when Quebecers are beginning to conduct their business. The drafting of the constitution by elected representatives is the first step in a nation that is self-governing, a Quebec that all responsibilities. Draw, collectively, the draft structure of shared powers of a sovereign state, even without the assurance of winning the referendum, remains a gesture of tearing and self-determination and self-learning -governance. Perhaps even necessary to break the status quo.
Thus, the election of a government sovereignty means that the people of Quebec Quebec agrees to engage in the process of independence. The referendum changes its nature completely. It is now used to confirm that the path it took the government to prepare the sovereignty corresponds to its promises and expectations of citizens who bear the final verdict. He launched the world: We have elected a transitional government to prepare for the sovereignty, it has met our expectations and we endorse his work, we validate our choice of the last election for a Quebec country.
Also, this program requires the training she agrees to share his option with a novel new ally, the Constituent Assembly after the election of the PQ, takes over to perform its specific function, that of putting a additional pressure on the current policy framework so that it bursts, it can no longer contain the aspirations of the people of Quebec to make the necessary presence of a separatist party. The PQ loses its monopoly on sovereignty, but it gains a powerful promotional tool, a Constitution.
The interest in the Coalition of Quebec regions seems obvious. This group probably will include such a proposal will give them greater autonomy than what Quebec could make the region as a mere province with its limited resources. With even less effort because the resistance he meets want to decentralize a state weakened by the Canadian connection will be strong.
The basic strategy of the PQ no longer inspires confidence. Why not submit a new plan more concrete in the States-General of the Coalition is announced for 2008?
