Quebec-Ontario relations

About this book

"Ontario-Quebec Relations have flourished in recent years. Environmental and economic agreements have proliferated (infrastructure, trade, investment, labor mobility) and a total of three joint provincial cabinet meetings betweens were held in 2008, 2009 and 2010. These closer ties provide a good opportunity to reflect on the provinces' shared destiny. Our objective in this book is to contribute to the body of knowledge on Ontario-Quebec relations and spark renewed interest among researchers on this topic. Our methodology combined historical and comparative approaches. The first part focuses specifically on the origin and current state of relationships betweens the two provinces. It offers a "big picture" view of inter-relationships from a number of perspectives (political, economic, social, and public policy). The second part compares key public policy issues in the provinces in a wide range of key fields. The analyzes provided Illustrate the similarities and differences betweens Ontario and Quebec, and provide a better understanding of the issues and policies that affect Ontario-Quebec relations."--pub. desc.
