 Language demographics of Quebec - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quebec's francophones account for 19.5% of the Canadian population and 90% of all of Canada's French-speaking population.
Quebec allophones account for 9% of the population of Quebec, however 88% of this population reside in Greater Montreal.
Quebec's language legislation has tried to address this since the 1970s when, as part of the Quiet Revolution, the francophone majority of French-Canadian origin chose to move away from Church domination and towards a stronger identification with state institutions as development instruments.

Quebec sovereigntists are generally not in opposition to federalism as a concept, but are opposed to the present federal system of Canada and do not believe it can be reformed in a way that could answer what they see as the legitimate wish of Quebecers to govern themselves freely.
Quebec federalist nationalists think that the Quebec people should be recognized as a de facto nation by the federal government of Canada and initiate the constitutional reforms that presuppose such a recognition.
Sovereignty-association was proposed to the population of Quebec in the 1980 Quebec referendum.

 Quebec - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
By area, Quebec is the largest province and the second-largest administrative division in Canada: only the territory of Nunavut is larger.
Quebec is also the sole territory north of the Caribbean Sea – aside from France itself, and the thinly populated archipelago of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon – where French is spoken by a majority of the population.
According to the Canadian government, Québec (with the acute accent) is the official form in French and Quebec (without the accent) is the province's official name in English; the name is one of eighty-one locales of pan-Canadian significance with official forms in both languages.

 Charter of the French Language (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.isi.jhu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
It is a fundamental law that is a part of Quebec's statutes along with other quasi-constitutional laws such as the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms and the Act respecting Access to documents held by public bodies and the Protection of personal information.
The Office québécois de la langue française (Quebec Office of the French language) is the government branch responsible to oversee the application of the Charter.
The Liberal government of Robert Bourassa invoked the notwithstanding clause of the Constitution to temporarily overrule the Supreme Court ruling; the Charter was subsequently amended by the Liberals in 1993 with Bill 86 in accordance with the ruling.
