France freezes Levesque plan during talks in Paris
In two days of talks with Quebec Premier Rene Levesque, Prime Minister Pierre Mauroy refused to guarantee Quebec a specific chair in a future francophone commonwealth. He said Quebec would have only a guaranteed "place" at the table, not a firm guarantee of status, while Levesque called the meetings satisfactory and noted potential francophone cooperation. An accord was announced to plan a giant aluminum plant at Becancour near Trois-Rivieres.
