Answer
The Clarity Act, introduced by Prime Minister Jean Chrétien in 2000, established the criteria for Quebec to hold a referendum on sovereignty. The act required a clear majority of votes in favor of separation, with a high voter turnout. It also stipulated that the federal government would negotiate with Quebec on the terms of secession if the referendum passed.
