Meech lake accord act of 1987 is the act where Canadian Prime minister Brian Mulroney was determined to resolve the conflict between Quebec and the rest of Canada. He believed in recognizing Quebec as a "distinct society," which would enable the province to manage its own affairs while continuing to receive federal funding. Only Manitoba and N.F. disapproved, and the Accord was defeated, where as 8 out of 10 provinces and all three political parties approved. The significance of the Meech Lake Accord was an unsuccessful attempt to include Quebec's consent in the Constitution. It would have strengthened local authorities. Quebec would have been recognized as a "distinct society" as well. In 1990, support for the Accord began to erode. This was viewed as a rejection of Quebec by many Québécois.
