1995 Quebec referendum

The 1995 Quebec referendum was the second referendum in the Canadian province of Quebec (see 1980 Quebec referendum) that put to public vote the role of Quebec within Canada and whether Quebec should pursue a path toward independent statehood ("sovereignty"). It was brought forward by Quebec's governing party, the Parti Québécois (PQ), which strongly favoured secession, and approved by two other parties, the federal Bloc Québécois and the Action démocratique du Québec (ADQ), and various other organizations.
