Quebecers can keep Canadian passports in a separate Quebec, PQ says

ST-HYACINTHE — An independent Quebec would allow its citizens to keep both a Canadian and Quebec passport, Parti Québécois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon said Friday as he presented the latest chapter of his post-referendum playbook.

Quebec residents with Canadian citizenship would automatically receive the new citizenship upon independence, St-Pierre Plamondon said. But the new state would recognize dual Quebec-Canadian citizenship, he promised, predicting Ottawa would make the same choice.
