魁北克人党领袖保罗·圣皮埃尔·普拉蒙东表示，他希望取消副总督办公室的经费，并通过一项法律切断该省与英国君主制的联系。
Parti Québécois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon says he wants to defund the office of the lieutenant-governor and pass a law to sever the province's ties to the British monarchy.
“魁北克人党政府将废除魁北克境内存在的一切君主制，”圣皮埃尔·普拉蒙东周二对记者表示。
"A Parti Québécois government will abolish whatever monarchy exists in Quebec," St-Pierre Plamondon told reporters Tuesday.
圣皮埃尔·普拉蒙东的政党在10月5日大选前的民调中领先，他承诺将该办公室的预算转用于解决无家可归问题。今年，该办公室的预算为130万加元。但逐步废除君主制是否可行？
St-Pierre Plamondon, whose party is leading in the polls ahead of the Oct. 5 election, promised to redirect the office's budget toward combatting homelessness. This year, the office has a budget of $1.3 million But is a phaseout of the monarchy feasible?
宪法专家认为，这远非易事。他们表示，魁北克人党的计划将面临法律挑战，而试图绕过王室可能导致该省立法机构陷入瘫痪。
It would be far from easy, according to constitutional experts. They say the PQ's plan would face legal challenges, and attempting to bypass the Crown could paralyze the province's legislature.
在魁北克，查尔斯国王由副总督马农·让诺特代表，其首要宪法职责是对国民议会通过的法案给予御准。
In Quebec, King Charles is represented by Lt.-Gov. Manon Jeannotte, whose principal constitutional duty is granting royal assent to bills passed by the National Assembly.
1982年《宪法法案》第41(a)条规定，对国王、总督或副总督办公室的任何修改，必须获得众议院、参议院以及全部10个省立法机构的批准。
Section 41(a) of the Constitution Act, 1982, stipulates that any modifications to the office of the King, the Governor General or the lieutenant-governor must be approved by the House of Commons, the Senate and all 10 provincial legislatures.
法律专家对可行性提出质疑。宪法学专家、蒙特利尔大学副教授卡琳·米莱尔表示，该省采取单方面行动将违宪。
Legal experts cast doubt on feasibility Karine Millaire, an expert in constitutional law and an associate professor at l'Université de Montréal, said a unilateral move by the province would be unconstitutional.
她告诉加拿大广播公司新闻，将该办公室的经费削减到副总督无法履行职责的程度，在法律上同样危险。
And cutting the office's funding to the point the lieutenant-governor could no longer do their job would also be legally perilous, she told CBC News.
她援引加拿大最高法院2014年关于参议院改革的里程碑式裁决，该裁决明确禁止对核心机构进行“间接废除”。
She pointed to the Supreme Court of Canada's landmark 2014 ruling on Senate reform, which explicitly prohibits the "indirect abolition" of core institutions.
她说，最高法院裁定，政府不能以间接方式做宪法禁止直接做的事情。
The top court ruled that governments cannot do indirectly what the Constitution forbids doing directly, she said.
蒙特利尔大学法学教授让-弗朗索瓦·戈德罗-德比安也表示，这条法律路径将十分艰难。
Jean-François Gaudreault-DesBiens, a law professor at the Université de Montréal, also said the legal path would be difficult.
“只要魁北克还是加拿大的一部分，我看不出保罗·圣皮埃尔·普拉蒙东如何能通过国民议会通过的一项简单法律来实现他的目标，”他对加拿大广播公司表示。另一位法律专家指出，如果魁人党政府试图绕过副总督，可能会使任何新立法的有效性受到质疑。
"As long as Quebec is part of Canada, I don't see how Paul St-Pierre Plamondon could achieve his goals through a simple law passed by the National Assembly," he told Radio-Canada Another legal expert noted that if a PQ government attempted to bypass the lieutenant-governor, it could put the validity of any new legislation into doubt.
舍布鲁克大学宪法问题研究观察站主任戴夫·盖内特表示，国民议会通过但未能获得御准的任何法案都不会成为法律。“准备好一战”周三再次被追问法律要求时，圣皮埃尔·普拉蒙东态度更加强硬，暗示他已准备好与联邦政府展开一场管辖权之争。
Any bills passed by the National Assembly that failed to receive royal assent would not become law, said Dave Guénette, director of the Observatory for Research on Constitutional Issues at the Université de Sherbrooke. 'Ready for a battle' Pressed again on Wednesday about the legal requirements, St-Pierre Plamondon doubled down, suggesting he is ready for a jurisdictional battle with the federal government.
分析：分离主义魁人党的胜利将对卡尼构成政治考验。“我们将采取必要行动，把君主制赶出魁北克，收回这些资金，并将它们用于社会事业，”他对记者说，并指出魁北克从未同意1982年的宪法 repatriation。
Analysis A victory for the separatist PQ would present political test for Carney "We are going to do what we have to do to get the monarchy out of Quebec, repatriate those funds, and send them to social causes," he told reporters, noting that Quebec never consented to the 1982 repatriation of the Constitution.
魁人党周二突然宣布这一消息，是由《Le Devoir》的一篇报道引发的，该报道披露总督玛丽·西蒙前往斯堪的纳维亚和格陵兰的行程花费纳税人超过70万加元。
The PQ's unscripted announcement on Tuesday was sparked by a Le Devoir report revealing that a trip to Scandinavia and Greenland by Governor General Mary Simon cost taxpayers more than $700,000.
圣皮埃尔·普拉蒙东估计，加拿大全国每年在君主制上的花费在5000万至6000万加元之间。
St-Pierre Plamondon estimated that Canada spends between $50 million and $60 million annually on the monarchy nationwide.
这一估计与加拿大君主制联盟的估算一致。圣皮埃尔·普拉蒙东表示，按魁北克在全国人口中的比例计算，魁北克人每年向渥太华输送1200万至1500万加元以支持王室——他指出，除非魁北克独立，否则该省无法停止支付这些资金。
That estimate is consistent with one made by the Monarchist League of Canada Based on Quebec's proportion of the national population, St-Pierre Plamondon said Quebecers send $12 million to $15 million a year to Ottawa to support the Crown — funds he noted Quebec cannot stop paying unless the province becomes independent.
原住民领袖提醒魁北克：没有我们的同意，你们无法合法分离。圣皮埃尔·普拉蒙东还表示，如果当选，他的政府将打破议会传统，要求副总督不要出席新一届立法会议的开幕演讲。PQ此前曾在君主制问题上挑战宪法界限。
Indigenous leaders remind Quebec: you can't legally separate without our say If elected, St-Pierre Plamondon also said his government would break with parliamentary tradition by asking the lieutenant-governor not to attend the opening address of the new legislative session. The PQ has pushed constitutional boundaries regarding the monarchy before.
2022年，在PQ的巨大压力下，国民议会一致通过了一项法案，取消了当选议员在就职前必须向国王宣誓的要求。
In 2022, under intense pressure from the PQ, the National Assembly unanimously passed a bill ending the requirement for elected members to swear an oath to the King before taking their seats.
这一变更目前正成为魁北克高等法院一宗法律挑战的标的。该案原告主张，省政府越权，而且取消宣誓也需要议会和各省的一致同意。判决尚未作出。公投话题主导魁北克竞选，但原住民主权呢？11小时前 时长
That change is the subject of a legal challenge in Quebec Superior Court The plaintiffs in that case argue the provincial government overstepped its jurisdiction, and that removing the oath also required the unanimous consent of Parliament and the provinces. A ruling has yet to be issued. Referendum talk dominates Quebec election campaign, but what about Indigenous sovereignty? 11 hours ago Duration
