Yeah, most of what I said applies to all of Canada, except for the specific statistics about Quebec which are even more shifted against marriage than the rest of Canada. Also I believe the status that was created for same-sex couples is civil unions, which at least in Quebec still exists as a separate option as well. What you said about common law applying to inheritance and splitting doesn't actually apply to Quebec, however. No rights exist in that context here unless otherwise agreed in certain ways. Very different legal regime than the rest of Canada. (Technically common-law partners are called de facto spouses or de facto partners under some Quebec laws, though others include them under the definition of spouse despite not being married. Makes sense since Quebec doesn't use the common-law legal system with respect to relations between people, as opposed to between people and the government where it does.)
