Quebec's not going anywhere. They'd cut themselves off from the western provinces moneypit.

Actually, that would be the Ontario moneypit, since Ontario is by far the largest net contributor to the federal coffers, and only slightly behind Alberta on a per-capita basis. The other two prarie provinces also suck on the welfare teat, as does BC at times.

Quebec is the biggest net recipient of federal funding, but not on a per-capita basis, where I believe Newfoundland leads, followed closely by the other Atlantic provinces. However that doesn't take into account all the federal gov't jobs that were moved into Hull, PQ, or all the subsidies that go to industries in Quebec.
