The Parti Québécois is looking for the discharge of all paperwork associated to an investigation into unlawful spending by the “No” marketing campaign forward of the 1995 Quebec sovereignty referendum.
The investigation in 2006 overseen by retired decide Bernard Grenier discovered that two federalist organizations — which acquired hundreds of thousands of {dollars} in funding from Ottawa — didn’t report spending of greater than $500,000.
More than 90 witnesses appeared in the course of the 16-month closed-door inquiry and greater than 4,500 paperwork had been entered into proof.
However, Grenier ordered all of the proof — together with witness testimony and communication between witnesses and their attorneys — to be completely sealed.
A movement by PQ Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon is scheduled for debate Wednesday within the legislature and would require the federal government to introduce a invoice to declassify all of the paperwork associated to the Grenier inquiry.
The No aspect gained the Oct. 30, 1995, sovereignty referendum by 50.58 per cent — a majority of 54,288 votes.
