		The Quebec general election of 2003 was held on April 14, 2003, to elect members of the National Assembly of Quebec (Canada).
		The Action démocratique du Québec under Mario Dumont won four seats, which was a considerable improvement from previous general elections, but nonetheless an important disappointment since the party had five sitting members as a result of by-election victories in the previous year and a quite high standing in the polls of that same year.
		An argument of Landry for this timetable was that he wanted Quebec to be present at the Summit of the Americas of Buenos Aires, in 2005 (representation for Quebec had been denied by Ottawa at the previous summit held in the very National Capital of Quebec, an act that angered many).

	Edited Evidence * PROC * Number 005 (Official Version) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		In February 2004 we wrote to some 1,100,000 young Canadians who have turned 18 since the 37th general election to remind them of their right to vote and to ensure they were registered in the upcoming election.
		Once the election was called, we wrote to 250,000 youth who still had not registered to tell them how they could register during the revision period or at the polls themselves.
		When we compare this to the 2000 general election, where about 515,000 addresses were visited and registration forms were completed for some 192,000 households, it seems that, despite a greater effort, the effectiveness of door-to-door canvassing in eliciting registration has further declined.

		These statements, of course, are not inconsistent with the lesser-evil politics she and D’abord solidaires defended in the 2003 election.
		A major challenge is clearly the conflict between, on the one hand, the UFP’s support of Quebec independence and opposition to the PQ and, on the other, OC’s tendency to adapt to the PQ despite its own ambiguity and divisions on the national question.
		For example, in the 1960s Quebec supporters of the Canadian "new party", the NDP, attempted to build an autonomous counterpart in Quebec, the Parti socialiste du Québec (PSQ), that was sympathetic to the nationalist upsurge.

		His opponents in the election, Jean Charest of the Parti Libýral du Quýbec (PLQ) and Mario Dumont of the Action dýmocratique du Quýbec (ADQ), are rarely seen in the film.
		He stated that, for this election, he believed the PQ had a lot to win if it succeeded, and a lot to lose if it did not: the reelection of the party could bring Quebec to independence, while a loss had the potential of hurting the sovereigntist movement, perhaps halting it for years.
		Landry is seen as a man of pride and high culture by many Quebecers, something that sometimes puts a distance between a public figure and the people in Quebec.

		The liberal party of Quebec is a combination of centre leaning liberals and conservatives such as Jean Charest.
		Many in Quebec and Canada were just tired of their nagging and wanted them to shut up and go away also.
		If Jean Charest in Quebec and the Liberals out in British Columbia could influence the federal Liberals to stop trying to turn Canada into a copy of Scandinavia, perhaps it will be a turning point in Canadian history and Jean Chretien's rule will looked back upon as a period where Canada lost its moorings.
