On November 27, 2006, the House of Commons passed a symbolic motion moved by Prime Minister Stephen Harper declaring that "this House recognize[s] that the Québécois form a nation within a united Canada. Essentially the Canadian House of Commons officially recognized the distinctiveness of Quebec and that it is a homeland of people.
Here is a link displaying exactly what was said on that day.
Do you think this special recognition will promote more Quebec nationalism or Canadian nationalism? Do you think citizens of Quebec will recognize the government's efforts in trying to please them? Was this a good move put forward by the Canadian government?
Also, has anything like this ever happened in your own country?
Any thoughts or comments are welcome.
