	Bloc Québécois - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Because the opposition vote in the rest of Canada was split between the Reform Party, the PC Party and the New Democratic Party, the Bloc narrowly won the second largest number of seats in the Canadian House of Commons, and therefore became the official opposition.
		The 1997-2000 term was marked by the Bloc's fight against the passing of Bill C-20, engineered by Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien and Stéphane Dion, a Quebec minister in Chretien's cabinet.
		The current Bloc leader, Gilles Duceppe, is also the son of Jean Duceppe, a famous Quebec actor who helped found the PQ and the Quebec NDP.

	uni.ca - BQ 2000 Programme
		The Bloc Québécois is convinced that citizens' trust in their representatives will be enhanced through a new balance enabling elected members to more freely express the expectations of their voters or their moral values as they relate to the orientations of the party which they also represent.
		The Bloc Québécois undertakes to consult the social players in Québec, including international cooperation organizations, and to take action to ensure that the Canadian government's proposals in these international or continental negotiations are presented to the public and that the debates are conducted on these major issues.
		The Bloc Québécois is not the only group involved, but it must assume its own responsibility for occupying the federal ground, its policies and debates, so that Québec's interests are constantly defended, and the Bloc must do this in a visible manner in every riding in Québec in order to neutralize the federal propaganda machine.

	Canadian Alliance and Bloc Quebecois rubbing shoulders (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Bloc MP Pierre Savoie, who was a delegate to the leadership Convention of the Alliance, declared that he didn't think the Alliance would win any seats in Quebec: “We are already proposing tax cuts.
		Former Parti Quebecois MP and leader of the right-wing Union Nationale, Rodrigue Biron, had taken part, with the blessing of Quebec Premier Lucien Bouchard, in a United Alternative steering committee, the first shot at uniting the Tory party and the Reform Party (predecessor of the Alliance) in a single organization of the Canadian right.
		A coalition between the Bloc Quebecois and the Canadian Alliance is far from being “unnatural.” Rather, it would reveal the reactionary essence of the nationalist project and represent another stage in the long collaboration between the Canadian right and Quebec nationalists.

	Le blog de Polyscopique: Quand le Bloc débloque
		The Bloc, as could be expected from a party that known its glory hours while fighting to separate Québec from Canada, often severely criticizes the encroachments of the federal government in provincial jurisdictions and thus seeks to protect the autonomy of the National Assembly of Québec.
		The Bloc is currently banking on the "record prices" of gas to lead an intense campaign in favour of another federal intervention: the creation of a surveillance board for the petroleum sector.
		In fact, the Bloc itself said in 1996 that the federal government was encroaching on provincial jurisdiction by banning the MMT additive in petroleum and was thus putting into jeopardy the survival of two Montreal refineries.

		The primary goal of the Bloc Quebecois is an independent Quebec, and most of their policies are tied to that concept.

	Le Bloc Québécois
		This book depicts Bouchard and the Bloc at the time when he had broken with Mulroney and the Conservatives and he and the Bloc were looking ahead to a referendum on sovereignty.
		Quebecois, in particular, must redefine the degree, the structures, and the conditions of their participation in the Canadian system.
		The country they carry in their minds and hearts is the present Canada, in which English is clearly predominant and which admires and is nostalgic for the British Crown.

		For a time during the campaign, it was considered possible, even likely, that the Bloc could hold the balance of power in a minority government.
		The Bloc's previous record high was also 54 seats, which they achieved in the 1993 election, under former leader Lucien Bouchard.
		But with nearly 50 per cent of the vote going to the Bloc, and just a third of the vote going to the Liberals, the party may have to rethink its strategy in Quebec.

	Canada Election 2004 Voter Guide: Political Parties - Bloc Québécois
		The Bloc Québécois (also known as the "BQ" or the "Bloc") is a federal political party, though it runs candidates only in the federal electoral districts of Quebec.

		Comprised at the time of Progressive Conservative ("PC") and Liberal party members who left those parties to form the Bloc, the party's first leader was former PC cabinet minister Lucienne Bouchard.
