Ce que vous devez savoir sur le project de loi sur la separation du Quebec du Canada
“Ce que vous devez savoir sur le project de loi sur la séparation du Québec du Canada” is a report in French from 1995 by the Québécois Committee for No (“Le Comité des Québécoises et des Québécois pour le Non”) intended to illustrate why citizens of Quebec should vote No at the October 1995 Referendum vote on whether Quebec should claim sovereignty from Canada. The report takes a pamphlet from the National Assembly which explains why the new law for sovereignty would be the right choice and then marks it up with numerous comments on how these groups are deceiving the public and what voting yes in the referendum would really mean.
