Robert Bourassa, 63. Canadian politician. Mr. Bourassa, a Liberal, was Premier of Quebec from 1970-1976 and 1985-1994. He won the leadership of the Liberal Party of Quebec in January 1970 and led them to victory in the provincial election three months later, unseating the Union Nationale government. Mr. Bourassa was a strong advocate of more powers for Quebec within the Canadian federation, but his government was defeated in the 1976 provincial election by the separatist Parti Québécois, led by René Lévesque, and Mr. Bourassa lost his seat in the National Assembly. Mr. Bourassa resigned the Liberal party leadership and stayed out of politics until 1983, when he regained the Liberal leadership, leading the party back into power in the 1985 election. Mr. Bourassa advocated "distinct society" status in the Charlottetown constitutional accord, but the accord was defeated in a national referendum in 1992, even being rejected in Quebec, where Mr. Bourassa was criticized for giving away too much in negotiations with the federal government of Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. Mr. Bourassa retired from politics in 1994 and was succeeded as Premier by Daniel Johnson, Jr. Mr. Bourassa died of skin cancer.

Defense
Canada joined with other 18 NATO allies, agreeing for the first time in their 52-year history to invoke a joint defence clause known as Article 5, which says that an attack on one member state from abroad was an attack on all members. Invoking the clause meant that supporting the U.S.A. in its campaign against terrorism was no longer conditional.
