Quebec Autonomism is a political belief that Quebec should seek to gain more autonomism as a province, while remaining a part of the Canadian Confederation. Drawing inspiration from Rene Levesque's "risks of autonomy", and Robert Bourassa's work on the Meech Lake Accord, it's goals are, in short:
-Setting out the procedures for constitutional change
-A sharing of jurisdictions between the federal government and Quebec
-Framework for federal spending powers
-Institutional reform
-Reform of intergovernmental policies
In a speech to delegates of the ADQ, party leader Mario Dumont, on May 8, 2006, Dumont said that Quebec should seek to re-open negotions with the federal government over Quebec's status in Confederation, and should eventually ratify the Constitution of Canada. [link]
