	CNN - Canadian separatist party wins Quebec election - December 1, 1998
		MONTREAL (CNN) -- Lucien Bouchard and his separatist Parti Quebecois were returned to power in Monday's provincial general election in Quebec but results showed Tuesday that Bouchard's independence cause enjoyed only lackluster support.
		The separatists, whose backing comes almost entirely from Quebec's French-speaking majority, are competitive in a much larger number of districts spread across the province.

	Quebec sovereignty movement - Medbib.com, the modern encyclopedia
		However, the roots of Quebec's desire for self-determination can be traced back as far as the Patriotes Rebellion, the Alliance Laurentienne of 1957, the writings of Lionel Groulx in the 1920s, the Francoeur Motion of 1917, Honoré Mercier's flirtation with this idea (especially in his historic speech of 1893.)
		However, in the 1995 Quebec referendum, in which the sovereignty option 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 and military, for example).
		In both referendums, the sovereigntists (especially Jacques Parizeau in 1995) were characterized by many outside Quebec as power-hungry individuals who wanted to rule as an independent nation and yet also enjoy all the existing benefits as a component of Canada, while prominent federalist Quebecers (especially Pierre Trudeau) were labelled traitors by the sovereignist camp.

	Canada v. the Environment:Federal Environmental Assessment 1984-97 Ch 10
		The Quebec Liberal government of Daniel Johnson strongly opposed the enactment of Bill C-13 in 1991 and 1992; the Parti quebecois government of Lucien Bouchard--among other provincial governments--can be expected to be no less vigorous in opposing any proposed changes to CEAA that would enhance federal authority in any way.
		Given the likelihood of a Quebec general election in 1998, and a third sovereignty referendum soon thereafter, the federal government will not be eager to propose legislative reforms that could be used by sovereigntists to attack federalism.
		The federal election in the spring of 1997 forced the cancellation of the May 1997 CCME meeting at which the Sub-Agreement on Environmental Assessment was to have been approved.
