Canadians believe that successful constitutional change is impossible in the near future. Attempts to meet continued demands for independence for Quebec with a form of distinctive status within the confederation reached an impasse early in the 1990s with the popular rejection of successive agreements on the principle reached at federal and provincial government level. Debate centres on whether a devolution-style solution for Quebec would lead to stability or eventual independence from the federation, which has continued to evolve into an equal partnership between federal and provincial governments. The author examines the implications of the Supreme Court ruling of 1998 both for the secessionist case and for the other parties to the federation, and makes a comparison with the devolution process in the United Kingdom
