Best Answer

In addition to holding over thirty years in various political offices, including ten years as Prime Minister, Jean Chrétien is famous for triumphing over Québec Separtists in two referendums. A Québecker himself, Chrétien successfully fought in convincing the people of Québec that their sovereignty was not the solution to strains in their relationship with the federal government, and that it was in both Québec's and Canada's best interest to remain a part of the nation.
