Abstract

This is one of three articles in this issue which examine the recent Canadian case concerning secession of the Province of Québec. Here, Professor Simmonds focusses on and celebrates one of those objectives of concern to Professor Craven, the decision's intended contribution to the debate about the nature of Canadian federalism. The author's particular interest stems from his background as someone who has spent considerable time living and working in Québec, and who is interested in theories of federalism when it is under threat.
