Summary/Abstract: Asymmetrical federalism outlined in the Lake Meech Agreement ( 1987) was meant to remove historical rivalry and by recognizing the difference and selfhood of the Quebecois to guarantee constutionally their equality with the rest of the federation. The Quebec nation would be enabled to lead a life of equality with the majority nation - the Canadians of British origin. Its rejection was a defeat of the Quebec concept ion of federalism. Canada is not yet ready to build an asymmetrical state.
