	Liberal Party of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Liberal Party was reduced from a majority to a minority government due, in part, to a Chrétien-era scandal in which advertising agencies supporting the Liberal Party received grossly inflated commissions for their services.
		When the Liberals formed a majority government after the 1993 election with Chrétien at the helm, party unity was assured by placing Martin, whom Chrétien had defeated for the party leadership in 1990, in the crucial role of Minister of Finance.
		In April, 2005 David Kilgour, one of the party's two MPs from Alberta announced that he was leaving the party to sit as an independent member of the House of Commons due to the damaging allegations of corruption in the Liberal Party's Quebec wing based on testimony in the Gomery Commission inquiry.

	#835 Québec Prem. night by david.nicholson & Herbert Bercovitz
		Both the Parti Québécois and the Québec Liberal Party embrace a wide gamut of members and philosophies ranging from conservative to social democratic, soft sovereignists, hard sovereignists, federalists, union leaders and industrialists.
		What distinguishes the Parti Québécois from the Liberal Party is its ability to rally its members (and a large part of the electorate) around a single issue namely sovereignty and against a common enemy, namely the federal government.
		The QLP consisting of such diverse factions presents a challenge to their leader that even Jean Charest might not be able to represent them adequately in the face of the opposition.

		In March 1991 the party convention accepted most of the Allaire Report, but Premier Bourassa’s speech in response was deliberately ambiguous, and it was soon apparent that he was not committed to the proposals.

	TIME: Saving The Quebec Liberals
		The Liberal Party of Quebec, traditionally a vehicle for change and modernity, has suffered badly from the polarization that the sovereignty movement has imposed on political life.
		It embodies the conviction that while Quebec should remain at the heart of the Canadian federation, it is a nation with its own language and culture.
		This is what for 40 years has led the Liberals, who were never a branch office of the federal party, to see the state apparatus of Quebec as the government of this nation and to seek the changes that would give Quebec the recognition and the protections that its minority status demands.

		Lucien Bouchard, their leader and current premier of Quebec, seemed unbeatable and the party was ready to call a spring election, which they would have undoubtedly won, furthering their separatist agenda.
		In 1988 when the federal Progressive Conservative Party, under the direction of Brian Mulroney, passed the Free Trade Agreement, the Liberal opposition was the first to point out this was a very bad idea, leading to more power for big companies, and less for the individual.
		Now, ten years later, the Liberal party, the same party whose mandate was to look out for the individual, is in favour of passing a Multi-National Agreement on Investment that would give large corporations even more freedom within our country and which would have even more devastating affects than those of the Free Trade Agreement.
