Why not just report the dividend on the husband's return instead, to avoid that problem?  For federal purposes, you are allowed to have the higher-income taxpayer report the spousal dividends if it would increase the amount they can claim for their spouse.  There is no special form to complete - just report it on the husband's tax return.  I would think it would be the same for Quebec taxation purposes?  That would avoid the issue of having a negative in that field.
