This paper covers two related sections. The first deals
with foreign investments in Canada and analyses the cost and
benefits of such investments. The conclusion of this section
states, that even if the cost might be hidden, the benefits are
great and Canada should not refuse foreign investments merely
for nationalistic pride but should welcome them and establish
laws to make certain that these investments (mainly Americans)
will produce benefits for Canadians in general. The second
section covers foreign Investments in Quebec, and the development
of Quebec since 1963 to 1969 (the period called the " quiet revolution"). It also analyses the labor situation, the
labor unions attitude toward establishing a plan for the
economy in order that Quebecois might regain control of their
economy and create new jobs for the young generation,
I then discuss the possibility of integrating the planning
of the economy of Quebec in one overall Canadian economy. I
suggest that Canada should be flexible in establishing a plan
for the Canadian economy since not all regions have the same
aspirations. I conclude by saying that Quebec might stay in
the Canadian Confederation if this planning if flexible and
if French can become effectively the working language in Quebec,
if this cannot be achieved in very short period of time,
separation is inevitable. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to
Professor Bernard Schwab, Faculty of Commerce, University
of British Columbia, for having accepted the direction of
my thesis work. I also would like to thank my two friends,
Robert McDonald; and William Young, for their patient correcting of my composition and grammatical errors. Futhermore
my appreciation extends to Professor Claude Pichette, Head
of the Economic Department, Universite de Sherbrooke, for
his fruitful suggestions and to the Parti Quebecois for
allowing me to use their economic library. Any mistakes
appearing in this paper are mine, and mine alone, / Business, Sauder School of / Graduate
