Article Abstract:
The text of the referendum drafted by the Parti Quebecois for a vote likely to be held on Oct 30, 1995, is not the simple independence proposition that premier Jacques Parizeau once sought. Instead, it is a vague question designed to reassure voters that a separate Quebec will stay in partnership with Canada.
