	MSN Encarta - Archive Article - 1939: Quebec
		The political struggle which had been under way in Quebec for several years between the provincial semi-fascist movement led by Premier Duplessis and the Dominion Government culminated on Oct. 25, 1939, in a general provincial election which was won by the pro-Dominion groups.
		Quebec shared with the rest of Canada a high degree of prosperity in its mining industry.
		The Quebec Bureau of Mines estimated the gold production of the Province for the first nine months of the year at 720,285 ounces, worth $25,487,865, as against 641,365 ounces valued at $22,447,775 in the corresponding period of 1938.

		This agreement was very controversial, and was the central issue of the 1988 election, in which Mulroney's party was re-elected with a strong majority in Parliament (however only with 43% of the popular vote).
		Quebec was the only province that did not sign the new Canadian constitution negotiated by Pierre Trudeau in 1982.
		This failure sparked a revival of Quebec separatism, and led to another round of meetings in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, in 1991 and 1992.

		After a by-election (an election to fill empty seats in Parliament), Mulroney entered the Canadian House of Commons in Ottawa on August 28, 1983.
		This agreement was very controversial and was the central issue of the 1988 election, in which Mulroney's party was reelected.
		Though Mulroney had retained a parliamentary majority in the 1988 elections, widespread public resentment of a new Goods and Services Tax (GST) introduced in 1991 and his inability to resolve the Quebec situation caused Mulroney's popularity to decline, and he resigned in 1993.

		Lapierre is truly a prodigal son returned to his federalist Quebec Liberal base where he first surfaced as an MP for Pierre Trudeau.
		In the process Martin will show that his mastery of the Quebec file was far and away superior to Chrétien's, and it all started with his picking Lapierre as his Quebec lieutenant.
		It is a bit ironic that in real serious crises the Quebec lieutenants acted carefully and were aware of the boomerang effect of their work on English Canada.
