Document Summary
There was a fix on collective rights in quebec. Henri bourassa thought french and english should have equal rights outside quebec. In 1930"s union nationale takes over which is led by maurice duplessis. Introduces social legislation (minimum wage, housing loans, hydro electricity) Thinks there should be a separation but that the church should still be important. His government is remembered for a lot of corruption. They wanted to assert quebec control on things like education and energy. Only elite will be allowed going to college. This keeps qc residents back because they don"t get the education the rest of country does. Liberals are against this and order a royal commission. Creation of cegep and increasing admissions in university by 1965. In 1962 it was nationalized and owned by the province. They encourage more french businesses, protect provincial rights etc . Shift from french canadian interest to quebec interest. They begin to focus on federal options like rights of the individual.
