ABSTRACT In 2017, the government of Quebec revisited the seemingly dormant question of Quebec’s place in Canada by releasing a Policy on Quebec Affirmation and Canadian Relations. While the policy statement checks off most of the boxes associated with Quebec’s traditional positions on federalism, I contend that it fails to diagnose the crux of the obstacles confronting Quebec and therefore it is likely to be reduced to a mere footnote in our ongoing deliberations around Canada’s constitutional impasse. Following an examination of the policy statement, the chapter turns to an exploration of the growing gulf between Quebec and its federal partners with regards to the purposes of federalism.

未经承认的肯定：评估魁北克最近的宪法参与倡议

摘要 2017 年，魁北克政府通过发布魁北克确认和加拿大关系政策，重新审视了魁北克在加拿大的地位这一看似处于休眠状态的问题。虽然政策声明勾选了与魁北克在联邦制方面的传统立场相关的大多数方框，但我认为它未能诊断出魁北克面临的障碍的症结所在，因此在我们围绕加拿大的持续审议中，它很可能只是一个脚注。宪法僵局。在审查了政策声明之后，本章转向探索魁北克与其联邦合作伙伴之间在联邦制目的方面日益扩大的鸿沟。
