secede. The principal objective of the CIP seeks to conciliate two
opposing positions which seem irreconcilable but which must be
reconciled, namely the position of certain Quebecers who wish at all costs
to give themselves a country where they will constitute a majority and the
position of those Canadians of Quebec who wish to live in the country that
their ancestors built and which has developed over time thanks to the co-
operation of all citizens, no matter what their origin.
