The mandate of Quebec's Commission on the Constitution is to canvas public opinion around the province, and subsequently to make proposals to the National Assembly for a new constitutional programme. Premier Robert Bourassa excluded from the options the status quo and annexation to the United States. Quebec Federation of Home & School Associations (QFHSA) would also exclude the model 'national' Sovereignty/Association, i.e., one where there is a common currency and free trade between the provinces but, in sensitive areas where jurisdiction is shared by the federal and provincial governments, such as immigration, manpower, education, communications and the environment, Quebec acquires exclusive political control by a transfer of jurisdictions from the federal level.
