  Quebec general election, 2003 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Quebec general election of 2003 was held on April 14, 2003, to elect members of the National Assembly of Quebec (Canada).
Quebec's income taxes are the highest in North America, but its social programs are also relatively generous, and the gap between rich and poor is the lowest of the North American continent.
This was presented by the PQ as a way to enhance family life, lower the stress on parents, and of counteracting the fall in Quebec's birthrate since the Quiet Revolution.

As well, Quebec premier Robert Bourassa had pledged, contingent on the results of the Charlottetown negotiations, to hold a referendum that year on either Quebec independence or a new constitutional agreement.
Quebec separatists, Lucien Bouchard's Bloc Québécois and the provincial Parti Québécois led by Jacques Parizeau, were strongly opposed as they believed it did not give Quebec enough powers.
Thus, on October 26, 1992, two referenda (the Quebec government's referendum in Quebec, and the federal government's referendum in all other provinces and territories) were put to the people.

Whereas 93.52% of Quebecers cast their vote on October 30th and 91.80 % cast Yes or No votes 1Çders of the movement are only giving credit to the idea of partnership for strategic purposes, many promoters of sovereignty have an authentic, and in many cases, an emotional attachment to Canada.
Quebecers can remind other Canadians that their ancestors were the first to identify themselves as "Canadiens," that the Canadian experience is also their experience, nurtured through their leaders, and that they have a great deal of commitment to the economic.
Quebecers have come up with innovative proposals to bind, albeit in a different frame, their future with other Canadians and have recently given a new meaning to the notion of association with Canada by proposing to establish an economic and political partnership.

Dumont's Action Démocratique du Québec, with 36 per cent, led the Liberals (29 per cent) and the PQ (23 per cent).
Last month, the ADQ won its second seat, in a by-election in the "safe" PQ riding of Saguenay, and it seems poised to win two, possibly three, new seats on June 17 when by-elections are held in four previously PQ ridings.
Dumont was president of the youth wing of the Quebec Liberal Party when, in the aftermath of Meech Lake, Robert Bourassa flirted with a referendum on secession if suitable "offers" of radical constitutional change were not forthcoming from the rest of Canada.

Formed as the result of a Quebec nationalist split-off from the Liberals, the ADQ remains programmatically committed to a vast decentralization of power from Canada’s federal government to the provinces.
In the 1995 referendum on Quebec’s secession from Canada, it was aligned with the Parti Québécois and its sister party in Canada’s federal parliament, the Bloc Québécois.
Predictably the leaders of the Quebec Federation of Labour (FTQ), Confederation of National Trade Unions (CNTU), and the Quebec Union Federation (CSQ) have responded to the rise of the ADQ by clutching still tighter to the apron strings of the PQ and the Liberals.
