	1995 Quebec referendum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 1995 Quebec referendum was the second referendum in the Canadian province of Quebec (see 1980 Quebec referendum) that put to public vote the role of Quebec within Canada and whether Quebec should pursue a path toward independent statehood ("sovereignty").
		The Quebec-wide referendum took place on October 30, 1995, and the motion to pursue Quebec's independence was narrowly defeated by a 50.58 per cent to 49.42 per cent margin.
		The day after the referendum, Jacques Parizeau resigned as the leader of the Parti Quebecois due to the controversy caused by his remarks blaming the sovereigntist defeat in the referendum on "money and the ethnic vote." These comments stirred an almost immediate backlash as being racist and anti-Anglophone.

	Quebec sovereignty movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sovereignty-association was proposed to the population of Quebec in the 1980 Quebec referendum.
		Despite having lost the referendum, the PQ was returned to power in the 1981 election with a stronger majority than in 1976, obtaining 49.2 per cent of the vote and winning 80 seats.
		However, in the 1995 Quebec referendum, which was narrowly rejected, the notion of some form of economic association with the rest of Canada was still envisaged (continuing use of the Canadian dollar, for example).

		The referendum saw a Canadian record 94 per cent of registered voters vote with a slim majority, 50.58 per cent to 49.42 per cent voting "No".
		Rather, after the referendum the Liberal government embarked on the so-called "Plan B" of treating Quebec and sovereignty harshly.
		This culminated in the 1998 Clarity Act which stated that any future referendum would have to be on a "clear question" and that it would have to represent a "clear majority" to be considered successful.

	Aboriginal Peoples and the 1995 Quebec Referendum: A Survey of the Issues (BP412e) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Since the referendum, the Crees and the Quebec government have continued to conflict on this matter, and the status of aboriginal territory has also become a prominent part of federal-provincial rhetoric on the terms of a possible secession.
		In early October 1995, First Nations Chiefs, in a statement entitled "Reaffirmation of Aboriginal Peoples of Quebec and Labrador’s Right to Co-Exist in Peace and Friendship," articulated their resistance to the forcible inclusion of aboriginal people in a new, independent state, arguing that it would be contrary to international law.
		In October 1995, Irwin told a meeting of First Nations chiefs in Ottawa that the federal government would protect Quebec aboriginal peoples and their territories if the province voted to separate, and repeated his position that Quebec aboriginal peoples have the right to stay with Canada.

	Dialogue Canada - Practical Guide to 1995 Referendum
		It is often suggested that the referendum was "won" mainly by the federalist forces from Ottawa and by Pierre Trudeau's speeches and his promises of constitutional reform.
		Because the referendum battle is over a hypothetical situation (whether or not Quebec should be independent) and because the facts are so complex that they are open to debate (the costs and benefits of sovereignty) and because nationalist emotions are involved, most of the strategies are aimed toward influencing popular images.
		Among the influences on the referendum other than those of the two major adversaries, the most important are the impact: of the international community, of the rest of Canada, of the rest of Quebec including the native peoples, and of a last catch all category we can call `the unexpected'.

		Bouchard's proposed referendum question, rather than emphasize Quebec 's extrication from Canada, called instead for a re-negotiation of Quebec 's terms of union with the country.
		Instead of emphasizing the common citizenship of all who voted in the referendum, Parizeau spoke in terms of “us,” “them,” and “revenge.” [13] Ethnic Quebecers, allophones (whose mother tongue is neither French nor English) and anglophones alike, spoke out immediately and forcefully against Parizeau's comments.
		However, a commission such as this could have inadvertent consequences: “the danger is that it would express a two-nation view of the country, which would possibly encourage the sovereignists.” [30] Still, the implications of a future “yes” vote would be serious enough to warrant such a commission, Cairns argued.

		The Entrenchment Bill provided that, should the referendum proposal be approved at referendum, elements of the electoral system would only be able to be changed if a majority of electors voted in favour of change at a future referendum, or if a two-thirds majority of Legislative Assembly members voted in favour of change.
		The referendum was held in conjunction with the 18 February 1995 general election for the Legislative Assembly.
		The referendum result was declared on 16 March 1995 and the principles of the proportional representation (Hare-Clark) system were entrenched.
