	Leader of the Official Opposition (Quebec) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is a list of the leaders of the Opposition of Quebec, Canada since Confederation (1867).
		Note that the leader of the Opposition is not always the leader of the political party with the second-largest number of seats, in cases where the leader of that party does not have a seat.
		There was no Leader of the Opposition until March 1869, when the government's second budget was introduced.

	Quebec nationalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Quebec nationalism is the subject of many international studies together with the contemporary nationalism of Scotland, Catalonia and other non-sovereign regions of the world.
		Interesting debates on the nature of Quebec's nationalism are currently going on and various intellectuals from Quebec or other parts of Canada have published works on the subject, notably Will Kymlika, professor of philosophy at Carleton University and Michel Seymour, professor of philosophy at Université de Montréal.
		People who believe that Quebec nationalism is still ethnic, have often expressed their opinion that the worldview of Quebec's nationalists is insular and parochial and concerned with preserving a "pure laine" population of white francophones within the province.

		What I understand of the official opposition leader's position is that he wishes all principles, including the recognition of the unique character of the society in Quebec, to be discussed.
		The leader of the official opposition was not the only one to comment on the Calgary declaration over the weekend, as Quebec Liberals stated that, as far as they were concerned, the Calgary declaration was not enough, that it needed to be fleshed out.
		Quebecers regard it as a step in the right direction, but when asked if it is enough, of course they say it is not.

		“It appears that the official opposition, on the eve of the unveiling of its budget for year one, is seeking desperately for ways to criticize the government’s 2005-2006 Budget, which serious observers have termed responsible and transparent.
		It should be remembered that last year, the opposition had predicted a deficit of $6.5 billion whereas the fact is that we kept the budget balanced,” the Minister of Finance stated.
		Concerning the potential overruns of $773 million identified by the leader of the official opposition, Minister Audet specified that care was needed not to confuse things.

		Quebec boasts the lowest post-secondary tuition fees in the country as well as a well-established provincial student loans and grants program.
		Moreover, francophone Quebecers are particularly jealous of their government's exclusive say on education, an area they see as crucial to the preservation of the French language.

	Bloc Picks New Leader
		Although Gauthier is viewed as an effective parliamentarian, especially on social issues, he has promised that Quebec independence will remain at the heart of the Bloc's parliamentary agenda.
		Although, for now, his party remains the official Opposition, Bouchard's departure left the Bloc and Reform in a dead heat with 52 seats each - and the future riding on six byelections set for March 25.
		Of greater concern, he says, is the fact that the new leader remains virtually unknown.

	Paul Martin Time: Paul Martin takes to life as opposition leader
		The leader of the official opposition, Paul Martin, launched his most ferocious attack yet on the Liberal government this week, leaving the leaders of the other opposition parties scrambling for something to add.
		The opposition leader was in Quebec where the Paul Martin Party needs to regain ground lost to the Bloc Québécois in the wake of Liberal Party scandals.
		That means curbing waste and mismanagement," said the leader of the opposition, inferentially agreeing that "waste and mismanagement" had been rife during his years as finance minister.

		It is helpful to the opposition that the Inquiry has passed the phase of the politicians taking the witness stand and denying that they knew anything.
		By and large the federalists in Quebec are joined at the hip with the Liberal Party and their anger over Adscam will likely result in protest votes going to the Bloc Quebecois as it did in the last election.

	L'avenir du Québec vu par Daniel Turp
		The leader of the official opposition in Quebec and the prime minister of Canada have been very much on the defensive and have used loaded words such as "illegitimate" and "undemocratic" to qualify both the substance and the process of the Quebec government's plan.
		Parizeau put it in the National Assembly, their boycott is a pretext, a "faux-fuyant" for not participating and for preferring to hide their heads in the sand on this issue and promote the status quo as they have been doing since the rejection of the Charlottetown accord in October 1992.
		The Quebec Liberal party would also find itself in the embarrassing position of having to object to many components of the draft bill on sovereignty that they have, in recent history, endorsed.

		OTTAWA – A scandal-hit program to boost Canada's profile in French-speaking Quebec was a key way to stop the country from falling apart, former prime minister Jean Chretien said in defiant testimony to a corruption probe Tuesday.
		Chretien admitted the government sponsorship program had made mistakes, but he said he had no idea that C$100 million ($80 million) of public money had been funneled to friends of his Liberal government when he was in power.
		Opposition politicians insist that Chretien and Martin must have known about the abuses.

	Editorial: The Sponsorship Scandal - What about The Rest Of Canada? - Galganov.com
		And the key Quebec advertising executive (Jean Brault) who was given most of this money to virtually do with as he wished to "save" Canada, turns out to be a Quebec nationalist and supporter of the people trying to kill Canada.
		Even Stephen Harper, the Conservative leader, and leader of the Official Opposition couldn't say enough about how much he regrets the way Quebec was treated as a result of this Liberal debacle.
		Instead of saying ENOUGH with Quebec already, the "federal" leaders are still pandering to a province that does not really want to remain in Canada other than for their monetary benefit.

		I am very pleased that, contrary to what the members opposite, the two-tier members opposite, have been insisting over the past several weeks, surgeries are, in fact, expanding this year by 141 at St. Boniface Hospital, something that is totally contrary to what members opposite have been circulating.
		Considering the Finance Minister is the only member opposite with the fortitude to admit that his Government election health promises were irresponsible, it came as no surprise to hear him admit it in the Budget yesterday, that his Government still has not ended hallway medicine.
		In fact, although members opposite stated time and time again that come April 5, 2000, quote, there would not be a single patient in hospital hallways, it is more than a full year past this self-imposed deadline, and Manitobans are still waiting for this Government to fulfil their promise.

		Certainly, the Quebec government is among the few Canadian provinces which have not, so far, shown any real desire to prop up their faltering economies.
