GOVERNMENT OF
DANIEL JOHNSON, Sr.
(JUNE 16, 1966 TO SEPTEMBER 26, 1968)
••• Status of Québec
69.
A new Constitution should be designed
so that Canada is not solely a federation of ten provinces, but a federation
of two nations equal in law and in fact.
From an institutional standpoint, a
truly bi-national order should be established for the entire country, where the
agents of the two cultural communities
could work together, on an equal footing,
to manage their common interests.

The object of the Constitution must
not solely be to federate territories,
but also to associate as equals two
linguistic and cultural communities,
two founding peoples, two societies,
two nations in the sociological sense
of the term.
A Canadian constitution
must be the product of an agreement
between the two nations that make up
the people of Canada, and must recognize the principle of the legal equality
of the two cultural communities.
