She told me that most Quebecers' objective in voting for the Bloc is to try and get these same protections in lieu of not being part of th constitution. She mentioned that there is no desire by many to separate from Canada, and that she will stop voting for the Bloc once Quebec is recognized by the Constitution.

I'm not sure I agree with this, but I thought itwould be wise to get an opinion of the Bloc from a Quebecer's perspective before making a judgement...
49.4% voted to separate. I think you lost something in the translation of the word "many".
