 The constitutional debate from Meech to Charlottetown   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Meech died at the stroke of midnight on June 23, 1990.
At the technical level, the demise of Meech may be attributed to the failure to achieve unanimous ratification by Parliament and the legislative assemblies of the provinces within the three-year time limit prescribed by the Constitution.
The Quebec Liberal Party reaffirmed its support for Meech in February 1990 during the last period of the Meech Lake ratification process, and established an internal commission, under the chairmanship of Jean Allaire, to develop a constitutional position for the round of negotiations that would follow the proclamation of Meech.

 Meech Lake and Canada: Perspectives from the West. by Deborah Coyne   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The recent election of a third provincial government opposed to the Meech Lake Accord in its present form has hammered the last nail in the coffin of the accord.
Of course, regional aspirations, grievances, and interests have played a significant role in the Meech Lake opposition, particularly since the chances for Senate reform a primary means by which the west hopes to strengthen its voice and influence in the national government have been effectively nullified by the Meech Lake Accord.
This will facilitate moving beyond the Meech Lake Accord to further constitutional discussions and, ultimately, to a further agreement that this time really will contribute to strengthening Canada as a bilingual, multicultural nation and a diverse, yet tolerant society.

The result was the Charlottetown Accord, which answered Quebec's concerns in ways similar to the Meech Lake Accord and also addressed other issues, particularly Senate reform and Aboriginal self-government.
