	Lucien Bouchard
		Lucien Bouchard, born on December 22, 1938 in Saint-Coeur-de-Marie, Quebec, is a Quebec lawyer and sovereigntist politician who was Leader of Opposition in Ottawa (1993 - 1996) and Premier of Quebec (January 29, 1996 - March 8, 2001).

		Quebec premier Jacques Parizeau first led the Yes campaign but, as support for sovereignty began to reach a plateau, the more popular Bouchard was given the official leadership.
