No surprise there. It is passed as an act of the National Assembly. It will be subject to the federal constitution, in general. (It is not quite proper to call the BNA etc. the federal constitution; it constitutes both the provinces and confederation jointly and so it is also part of Quebec’s constitution. But I use the term for the sake of disambiguity.)
Quebec already has a body of [quasi-constitutional](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasi-constitutionality) laws. The Quebec Charter of Human Rights etc. of 1977 is the classic example. Same with the French Language Charter. That was challenged in court, under both the BNA and the Constitution Act 1982.
Besides, you know who could also undo it? Quebec. Any province attempting to build up an unwritten quasi-constitution has the same problem the UK has. What stops a future legislature from voting to repeal the constitution with a simple 50% + 1 vote?
