The commission exposed in these terms the misunderstanding on which the Canadian crisis was based and is still based, and I quote: ``[-] English people, many of whom were showing good will [-]did not understand [-]the profound leanings of so many Quebecers towards an increased autonomy and their growing belief that Quebec would become a distinct nation ruling its economic and social institutions'.
La Commission mettait à jour en ces termes le malentendu sur lequel était et est encore basée la crise canadienne, et je cite: «[ .] les anglophones dont beaucoup manifestaient de la bonne volonté [ .] ne comprenaient pas [ .] la tendance profonde de tant de Québécois vers une autonomie accrue et leur conviction grandissante que le Québec devient une nation distincte, maîtresse de ses institutions économiques et sociales».
