The collection of signatures by the separatist organization has been done but the check on the signatures cannot begin due to a court case put forward by First Nations on it's constitutionality due to their treaties. The Judge will probably make a decision on the question of it's constitutionality fairly soon.

If the Judge says the count can go ahead and it shows there are enough signatures to force a referendum, Smith has not said whether it would be added to the current referendum questions or be a separate referendum.

To put it succinctly, it's a mess.
