Reference Re: Secession of Quebec, [1998] 2 SCR 217 The Supreme Court of Canada was given a very difficult, some would say almost hopeless, task by the federal government to define the limits of important rights relating to self-determination and nationhood. Many argued this is essentially a political question. The decision was not perfect by any means but the Court managed to produce a legal ruling that didn’t alienate the federal government or Quebec. This case has been cited in international law as a model for governments grappling with the issue of secession and legal boundaries of self-determination under law.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
