The bill comes after criticism from Quebec politicians about the possible use of the legislation in the wake of Alberta separatism.But Carney said that, should the federal government have to apply the law in the event of a referendum on separation, it would not recognize a 50 per cent plus one result.The Clarity Act requires that the government only enter negotiations for a province to secede from Canada if a clear majority of voters opted for a clear question.Quebec has adopted its own legislation in response to the Clarity Act to stipulate that Quebecers alone would decide how to choose the province’s political regime.It also says that a majority of 50 per cent plus one would suffice for victory in a referendum.But the Bloc’s attempt to repeal the Clarity Act is bound to be doomed from the start, as Liberals are expected to use their slim majority to quash the initiative.National Post calevesque@postmedia.comOur website is the place for the latest breaking news, exclusive scoops, longreads and provocative commentary.
