Charlottetown Accord, agreement between the federal government of Canada, the provincial and territorial governments, and representatives of Canada’s indigenous peoples on a proposed reform of the Canadian Constitution of 1982. The agreement dealt with issues concerning the status of the province of Québec, the self-government of indigenous peoples, and the structure of Canada’s Parliament. It was signed on August 28, 1992, at Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, and was rejected by a majority of voters in a Canada-wide referendum of October 26, 1992.
