Castonguay resigned the troubled committee in November, replaced by Gerald Beaudoin. In March 1992 the now &QUOT;Dobbie-Beaudoin&QUOT; Committee recommended a Qubec veto on all constitutional change; recognition of Qubec as a &QUOT;distinct society&QUOT;; rejection of a &QUOT;Triple E&QUOT; Senate but a recommendation for elected, effective and &QUOT;equitable&QUOT; Senate subordinate to the House of Commons.
