 | | In the fall of 1990, an evening benefit for Le Devoir was attended by Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, Opposition Leader Jean Chrétien, Bloc Québécois Leader Lucien Bouchard, NDP Leader Audrey MacLaughlin, Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa, Party Québécois Leader Jacques Parizeau, the Mayor of Montreal and the Mayor of Quebec City. |
 | | Le Devoir was founded in 1910 by an independent-minded man named Henri Bourassa, who sat for a number of years in the House of Commons, first as a Liberal MP and then as an independent, in order to maintain his freedom of speech. |
 | | He did not want Le Devoir to be able to fall into the hands of anyone who might deviate from the purpose for which the paper was founded. |
