distinct society
Distinct society (in (フランス語:la société distincte)) is a political term especially used during constitutional debate in Canada, in the second half of the 1980s and in the early 1990s, and present in the two failed constitutional amendments, the Meech Lake Accord and the Charlottetown Accord. "Distinct society" refers to the uniqueness of the province of Quebec within Canada, although here the meaning of "unique" is vague and controversial.
==Origin==
Quebec is not explicitly declared distinct in the Constitution of Canada. However, constitutional scholar Peter Hogg argues that several parts of the Constitution already indicate Quebec has distinctiveness that should be reflected in law. Canadian federalism itself, bilingualism in the federal and Quebec legislatures, educational rights, and the acknowledgment of the importance of Roman Catholicism in Quebec were cited as examples.〔Peter W. Hogg, ''Meech Lake Constitutional Accord Annotated.'' Carswell: 1988.〕
The term "distinct society" was invented as a description for Quebec by Jean Lesage,〔Rhonda Lauret Parkinson, ("Official Bilingualism in Canada," ) Mapleleafweb. University of Lethbridge. URL accessed 13 May 2006.〕 the Provincial Premier from 1960 to 1966. In addition to using this terminology, Lesage also advocated that Quebec's special status be recognized in the Constitution, which presaged the constitutional amendments later proposed in the Meech Lake and Charlottetown Accords. Lesage did not achieve his desired constitutional amendment as premier.〔Colin Languedoc, "'Separation' time-honored French threat," ''Financial Post'', Toronto, Ontario: February 21, 1989, pg. 12.〕
Quebec was also referred to as a distinct society by the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism.〔
