Summary
The Meech Lake Accord was a package of proposed amendments to the Constitution of Canada. The first section, and by far the most contentious in the proposed agreement, recognized Quebec’s distinct place within the Canadian federation. he remainder of the proposed amendments were designed to meet Quebec’s demands for greater autonomy by increasing the powers of all the provinces. The key objective of the Meech Lake Accord was to gain Quebec’s explicit acceptance of the Constitution Act, 1982 and it failed. The rejection evidently energized more support for Quebec's separation by the supporters.
