Africana Congress 2000 - Africana Studies Committee (2000)
Africana Congress 2000 was held at McGill University from February 4" to February 6” 2000. Organized by the Africana Studies Committee and the Black Student Network, and sponsored in large part by Canadian Heritage, the event served to celebrate and critically re-evaluate 30 years of Africana Studies at McGill University. The Congress marked a major turning point in the struggle to maintain and promote Africana Studies at McGill University. It was first conceived two years earlier, when the Africana Studies Committee (ASC) drafted its 1998 Development Plan, a document that charted ASC’s 20-year vision for the potential expansion of the program. The plan was divided into four phases, the final one being the establishment of an Africana Studies Centre. In the interim, the Congress was conceived and proposed as a way of mobilizing as much support for the initiative as possible. The Congress was also conceived as a forum that would welcome input and would generate discussion about how to achieve our goals. ASC without engaging in acknowledged that it could not achieve these ambitious, though not unrealistic, goals with genuine consultations with the wider community.

Alliance Quebec Brief on Bill C-20, The Clarity Bill - Alliance Quebec (AQ) (2000)
Alliance Quebec congratulates the Government of Canada on the Clarity Bill, which recognizes the errors of the 1995 referendum campaign and acknowledges the demands of most federalists in Quebec for a clear framework that safeguards our constitutional rights, as recognized by the Supreme Court of Canada. In 1995, the secessionist Government of Quebec held a referendum that was intended to lead to a unilateral declaration of independence. An ambiguous question was posed that referred to an agreement between the three separatist leaders. The people of Quebec then voted in confusion, with most under the illusion that secession was a right, that a referendum could activate that right, and that a majority Yes vote would be followed, naturally and normally, by Quebec’s independence with its borders intact. And many also felt that Quebec would continue to send representatives to the Canadian Parliament and would retain its rights as part of NAFTA and the GATT .

Alliance Quebec's Brief to the National Assembly Committee Studying BIll 99 - Alliance Quebec (AQ) (2000)
Alliance Quebec is the one voice of the English-speaking community that’s heard throughout the province. Our 11 chapters cover the territory where more than 80 per cent of all English-speaking Quebecers live. Alliance Quebec welcomes the public hearings on Bill 99 and, in one sense, also the introduction of the bill itself. Our reason is that the bill sets out in clear terms a vision of Quebec which has inspired provincial political parties in Quebec for some four decades. It is time that this vision be clearly defined, its premises examined, and that it be subjected to critical evaluation so that its legitimacy or illegitimacy be established once and for all. The ambiguity, which has surrounded these questions until now, has resulted in economic and social instability and has caused many members of our community to question their future in this province.
