Quebec: Federal Government

Leader Pauline Marois Dept: More problematic, she appears to have a constitutional strategy in mind -- namely, to create the "winning conditions" for a referendum on Quebec's status within the federation. None of this should be taken lightly and if the polls are to be believed, the Parti Quecois PQ is set to win the Quebec election Sept. 4, perhaps securing a minority government. If so, what is the federal government going to do? Do the governing Conservatives have a plan of action? PQ Leader Pauline Marois has promised that, as premier, she will stand up for Quebec and push back against the Harper government. There will be efforts to toughen Quebec's language laws, a move to implement a controversial secular charter, and even the possibility of disregarding Supreme Court of Canada decisions regarding Canada's Charter of Right and Freedoms.
