| Description | A referendum on whether Quebec should establish a different economic and political partnership with Canada would be a losing proposition, according to a poll by CROP published in La Presse. 55 per cent of respondents say they would vote No in a plebiscite using the 1995 question.
The Canadian province has held two referendums on sovereignty. In May 1980, a motion to provide Quebec with "the exclusive power to make its laws, levy its taxes and establish relations abroad" and "maintain with Canada an economic association including a common currency" was rejected by 59.56 per cent of all voters.
In October 1995, a new plebiscite on whether Quebec should "become sovereign after having made a formal offer to Canada for a new economic and political partnership" was narrowly defeated by a 50.58 per cent to 49.42 per cent margin.
