 Election Resources on the Internet: Federal Elections in Canada - Elections to the House of Commons
Although both the government and the National Assembly of Quebec rejected the agreements under which the Canada Act was passed and denounced the political legitimacy of the Constitution Act, 1982, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the province was legally bound by the Act.
Between 1962 and 1980, eight federal elections were held in Canada, five of which (1962, 1963, 1965, 1972 and 1979) resulted in minority governments, as no party won an absolute majority of seats in the House of Commons.
The Parliament of Canada consists of a lower chamber, the House of Commons, whose members are directly elected by universal adult suffrage for a maximum term of five years, and an upper chamber, the Senate, whose members are appointed on a provincial basis and may hold office until they are 75 years of age.

 NodeWorks - Encyclopedia: Results of the Canadian federal election, 2004: Quebec & Atlantic Canada
The 1958 result was helped by an alliance with Maurice Duplessis's formidable provincial electoral machine, but by the 1962 election Duplessis had died and his Union Nationale party was out of office and in disarray, and Diefenbaker's support in Quebec had evaporated.
Throughout most of recent history, the Liberals have dominated in federal politics in Quebec, even when Quebec voters were simultaneously electing the Parti Québécois at the provincial level.
The Bloc Québécois was formed for the 1993 election (in the aftermath of the failure of the Meech Lake Accord and Charlottetown Accord) and has won more seats in Quebec than the Liberals in every election it has run in.
