I imagine part of the divorce negotiations would be automatic replacement of Canadian citizenship with Quebec citizenship for Quebec residents. Canada wouldn't want the "liability", so to speak, of having potentially the bulk of another country's population also be its citizens, given all that entails (voting rights, consular protection, etc.)
