They would recognize Quebec as a "distinct society" within Canada and give it and other provinces more power in certain fields.
Quebeckers thought they were getting too little, while most non-Quebeckers thought Quebec was getting too much. Quebec has been recognized as "distinct society" of some sort and the Quebecois have been recognized as a "nation within a united Canada."
