It governed Quebec from 2018 and is led by Christine Fréchette. It is named as a party in the Quebec general election of 5 October 2026.

History

The party was founded on 4 November 2011 by former Parti Québécois minister François Legault and businessman Charles Sirois, and merged with the Action démocratique du Québec in January 2012. In 2018 it won 74 seats and formed the first government since 1966 that was neither Liberal nor Parti Québécois; in 2022 it won 90 seats. Wikipedia reports that in 2026, under leader Christine Fréchette, it lost all its seats.

Positions

Wikipedia places the party at the centre-right to right and says it has been described as right-wing populist on immigration and identity. It has pursued restrictive immigration policy, arguing that Quebec has exceeded its integration capacity, and passed Bills 21 and 96 on secularism and the French language. It seeks more provincial powers and rejects sovereignty referendums.
