Quebec autonomism is a political belief that
Quebec should seek to gain more autonomy as a province, while remaining a part of the Canadian
federation. Drawing inspiration from
René Lévesque's "
beau risque", and
Robert Bourassa's work on the
Meech Lake Accord and
Charlottetown Accord, its goals are, in short:
- Setting out the procedures for constitutional change
- A sharing of jurisdictions between the federal government and Quebec
- Framework for federal spending powers
- Institutional reform
- Reform of intergovernmental policies
