 | | Under the Constitution, the provinces had control of education and in Quebec the school system was entirely confessional. | | | However, after ten years of governing by the separatist Parti Québécois in the election of April 14, 2003, Jean Charest, leader of the Parti libéral du Québec, was elected premier of the province. | | | The Protestants and Roman Catholics ran separate school systems in Quebec until the 1990s when secularization of schools took place under the Parti Québécois government. |

| | The Union Populaire had nominated candidates in the 1979 and 1980 federal elections and the Parti nationaliste du Québec had nominated candidates in the 1984 federal election. | | | For the first time, the PQ supported pro-sovereigntist forces running in federal elections; during his lifetime Lévesque had always opposed such a move. | | | Former Prime Minister Chrétien, under whom the Clarity Act was passed, has remarked that the Act is among his most significant accomplishments. |

| | The 1998 Quebec election produced the same result for the party as the 1994 election: Dumont was the only candidate from his party to win a seat. | | | In the 2003 Quebec election, the ADQ lost the four seats it had gained in the by-elections, but picked up three other seats previously held by the PQ. | | | A few days after, the ADQ held its congress in Drummondville, where its members adopted the new constitutional position of the ADQ, which can be defined as autonomist. |

| | In the last election, in 1994, the popular vote was split almost evenly, but the separatists won 77 seats because their support is spread more evenly across the province. | | | But the skills that served him well in federal politics have been less useful in Quebec, where provincial politicians are expected to do battle with the federal government. | | | Though the party is unlikely to win many seats, polls suggest that it could capture 10 percent of the vote, perhaps diverting crucial anti-separatist support from Charest. |

| Â | Quebec Election Sidesteps Issue of Individual Liberty, by Pierre Lemieux (<I>Wall Street Journal</I> ) |
| | For example, during an election night panel hosted by Quebec state television (which is usually quite politically correct), one of the panelists, a well-known separatist, conspicuously smoked cigarettes in violation of federal law. | | | And adding to the obfuscation of meaning in this election, a new party, the separatist-leaning Action Democratique du Quebec, headed by a 24-year-old underdog, reaped an unexpectedly high 6.5% of the vote, testifying to the dissatisfaction factor among the voters. | | | No clear question was asked, the voters confirmed no intelligible mandate, and an idea that is basic to both economic prosperity and constitutional change was barely mentioned during the campaign: individual liberty. |

Lise Thibault to sign the election decree and dissolve the legislature. | | | While the governing Parti Quebecois is seeking a mandate for both a third term and, perhaps, a third sovereignty referendum, the Opposition Liberals are staunch federalists and the Action democratique du Quebec has promised no referendum in its first mandate. | | | The right-leaning ADQ, a political minnow until it won four byelections last year, has lost some of its lustre as of late and will have to convince Quebecers of the merits of smaller government and more private health-care services. |
