  • The Canadian Unity Council (CUC) was a privately owned, non-profit organization whose mission was to promote the Canadian Unity and the current federal institutions. The CUC started as the "Canada Committee" in 1964, in the middle of Quebec's Quiet Revolution. The period corresponds to the rise of both the Quebec independence movement and the demands for reform by Quebec federalists. The election of the Parti Québécois in 1976 gave the impulse for a coalition strategy, which included all federalist parties. Funded by the Government of Canada, the CUC published numerous pro-Canada studies advertising the merits of Canadian federalism. In 1996, the Centre for Research and Information on Canada (CRIC) was created to assist in the CUC's mission to promote the federal government's view of what federal Canada is. In 2006, the Government of Stephen Harper announced the reduction of funding for the Unity Council. (en)
  • Le Conseil de l'unité canadienne (CUC) est un organisme à but non lucratif dont la mission est la promotion de l'unité canadienne et les institutions fédérales actuelles. Le CUC a débuté sous le nom de Canada Commitee (Comité Canada) en 1964, au beau milieu de la révolution tranquille du Québec. Cette période correspond à la montée en force du mouvement indépendantiste québécois et des demandes de réformes venant des fédéralistes du Québec. L'élection du Parti québécois en 1976 a donné l'impulsion nécessaire à l'élaboration d'une stratégie de coalition incluant tous les partis fédéralistes du Canada. Financé par le gouvernement du Canada, le CUC a commandé plusieurs études pro-Canada vantant les mérites du fédéralisme canadien. En 1996, le (CRIC) a été créé pour aider le CUC dans sa mission de promouvoir le point de vue du gouvernement fédéral auprès des Canadiens. En mars 2006, le gouvernement de Stephen Harper annonce la fin des subventions au CUC. L'organisme décide de chercher son financement dans le secteur privé pour survivre. (fr)
