Quebec would set up her own judicial processes and constitution

Quebec already has her own judicial processes. The province operates under the Napoleonic Code while the rest of Canada lives under the remnants of English Common Law.

“Quebec already has her own judicial processes”

There are several problems with that comment. The biggest problem is that notwithstanding the civil system the Quebec Court of Appeal is still beholden to the Supreme Court of Canada. The courts are still governed by stare decisis therefore a fundamental principle in the common law system exists at the most crucial level in the Quebec judicial process. It would therefore be necessary to change this fundamental judicial process to create a high court as the appellate court of last resort in Quebec and a constitution fundamentally different than the Canadian Charter of Rights.
