“The people of Quebec voted for change, a pretty strong desire for change…. At the same time, I think it was pretty clear they were denying any kind of a mandate to pursue the separation of Quebec or the division of the country,” he said. “That’s certainly how we interpret it, and that’s how the government of Quebec will be forced to interpret it, one way or the other.”
