Québécois general election of 2007

The Québécois general election of 2007 , which was held the March 26th 2007, was started by the Prime Minister Jean Charest the February 21st. The poll allowed the election the National Assembly of Quebec of 125 Député S of the 38 {{E}} legislature; it is about the 38e general election in the province since the Canadian Confédération of 1867.

The elected government is formed by the Liberal party of Quebec, directed by Jean Charest, the democratic Action of Quebec of Mario Dumont forming the Official opposition and the Parti Québécois André Boisclair being relegated to the second group of the opposition. It is about the first Minority government in Quebec since 1878.

Context

Rumors of elections

In August 2006, rumors start to circulate on the release of elections for the autumn 2006. Some believe that the Prime Minister Jean Charest wants to start elections before the next federal election in order to avoid a conflict between the two. Being given the minority situation of the current federal government, the next federal election will be able to occur in spring 2007 well.

With the autumn 2006, the rumors of elections are persistent. On the other hand, after short hesitations, Jean Charest conceals the rumors from the month of October. Indeed, several ministers affirmed with the media that because of the crisis in forest industry, time was not with the release of elections. They also evoked bills which they wished to see walking on or filed in with the National Assembly during the session of autumn. Monique Jerome-Forget, president of the Council Treasure, affirmed: I do not see any reason for very currently discussing elections. A mandate can reach five years, and one is with three years and half! . The rumors of elections begin again of more beautiful in January 2007 and the publication of a survey in which the Liberal party of Quebec exceeds the Québécois Party in the voting intentions for the first time since 2004, as well as the multiple difficulties of the chief pequist André Boisclair with the militants of his party, seems to accelerate the process. Rumors concretize when that PLQ cancels its annual convention, which was to take place of the 23 to the March 25th, to replace it by a General advice widened the February 17th. Jean Charest would have thus the good game to start the elections shortly after this council to fix the date of the poll at the March 26th.

The February 20th, the Minister for Finance, Michel Audet, deposits the budget of the government in front of the National Assembly, convened urgently for the occasion. The following day, Jean Charest request with the lieutenant-governor Dye stick Thibault to dissolve the National Assembly and to start elections. The date of the poll was fixed at March 26th.

Electoral reform

Penant the 37ème legislature, Benoit Pelletier, the minister responsible for the electoral reform, announces to want to file in two bills on the electoral reform during the session of autumn. The government studies a time the possibility of a Référendum on the reform of the way of voting which would have proceeded jointly with the general election. A similar referendum took place at the time of the general election of 2005 in Colombia-British and it is probable that a referendum on the electoral reform will also take place in Ontario at the same time as the next general election in this province. However, on 7 November 2006, this proposal is definitively drawn aside by the leading authorities of the Liberal party, which are not enchanted by the proposal of the Pelletier minister. The December 13rd, the Pelletier minister announces that the reform is deferred. He asks the Managing director elections to concentrate himself on certain problems connected to the way of voting and to submit a report before June 2007.

Modification of the electoral law

The Electoral law of Quebec is modified and these modifications will apply at the time of this election of 2007. In particular, it is now allowed to the candidates who do not live the district where they are presented to vote there, while indicating as addresses their office of countryside. Previously, only the outgoing deputies enjoyed this privilege. This change was criticized by certain analysts who deplore that the bond which exists between the deputy and his district becomes less and less important and which “the districts become a kind of electoral goods. ”.

The electoral law also creates itinerant commissions of revision in the rural districts where the voters would have more 60km to traverse to go to the office of revision of the electoral register. Moreover, for the first time, certain voters have the privilege to vote in their residence if they are not able to move for health reasons; the voters having this right make of it the request near the director of the poll in their district at least 14 days before the date of the poll, and a team is sent to collect their votes.

March 22nd, following a controversy concerning of the Moslem women wishing to keep to them Niqab, the managing director of the elections, using the capacities granted by article 490 of the Electoral law of Quebec , declares the obligation for all the voters to have the face discovered at the time of the vote. This measurement will apply only for this election. See reasonable Compromise.

Political parties

Liberal party of Quebec

Slogan: Plain to make a success of

See the electoral platform

The Liberal party of Quebec is with the capacity since 2003. This four years period was often very difficult for the government, which beat records of unpopularity near the electorate and which trailed continuously behind the Québécois Party in the surveys. However, in 2006 the Liberal party starts to carry out a certain increase in the surveys and takes again finally the first place, which several regard as a factor having influenced the decision to start the elections.

Although the parties are usually very discrete on the state of their finances, it would seem that the Liberal party has a good length in advance on its rivals from this point of view. The financial reporting of 2005 indicated that the party had accumulated beyond 11 million $ in its electoral case; this amount does not hold counts of them the expenditure and incomes of 2006. The limit of the electoral expenditure for 2007 is fixed at 9,8 million by the Electoral law , i.e. 65 hundreds per voter for the party and 1,11 $ per voter for the candidate.

Democratic action of Quebec

Slogan: In Quebec, one passes to the action

See the electoral platform

The democratic Action of Quebec knew difficult times in 2006 with very bad results at the time of the bys-election, which pushed several to predict the end of the party of Mario Dumont. However, it went up in the surveys thanks to the question of the reasonable compromises, spending 12% with more than 20% in the voting intentions in a few months only; Dumont is currently the most popular political leader in Quebec, preceding Boisclair and Charest, and the only chief who is more popular than his party. Regarded as marginal one year ago hardly, it is today a realistic candidate at the post of Prime Minister.

The party envisages a campaign more modest than that of 2003, which had cost six million and which had shown a disappointment with the election of only 4 deputies. According to the financial reporting of 2005, the party had accumulated 1 million $ in its electoral case. The party hopes to benefit from the interest for the questions touching with the environment expressed in the media and the surveys. The green Party is at equality and even in front of interdependent Quebec according to the surveys, and this in spite of a much less press coverage. At the time of this poll, the formation presents a record number of candidates. At the time of the last general election, the party had introduced 37 candidates; this time, it presents 108 of them.

Interdependent Quebec

Slogan: Let us be lucid, vote Solidaire!

See the electoral platform

Quebec interdependent was born in 2006 of fusion from the movement Option citizen and the Union from the forces progressists; the party takes part for the first time in the general elections. The official chief is the general secretary Régent Séguin and the party comprises two “ carry-parole ”: Francoise David and Amir Khadir. Interdependent Quebec is described like a left party and souverainist, making say to certain analysts who it could contribute to divide the vote souverainist into attracting the left voters who usually vote for the Parti Québécois. The party is defended some and rather claimed to want to attract the abstensionnists. Certain members of the Québécois Party wished an electoral alliance with interdependent Quebec to mitigate this possibility, but this solution was rejected by the two parties.

Other parties

In addition to the five parties profiting from an appreciable press coverage, seven other parties are officially registered near the Managing director of the elections. One finds there the Parti Christian Democrat Quebec, the Parti universal conscience, the Communist party of Quebec, the Parti Marxist-Leninist Quebec, the unit Parti Quebec, the Parti Equality, and the Bloc Pot.

The Communist party of Quebec will not introduce candidates and will support those of interdependent Quebec rather.

Stakes

Health

Health has been an important issue in all the elections in Canada for a few years; according to a survey published by CROP the day of the release of the elections, 44% of the Inhabitants of Quebec believe that health will be the principal stake of the electoral campaign. The Liberal party indicates that it will make the central theme of its countryside of it. The opposition parties have both attacked the government on its medical check-up, showing it not to have respected its promises made at the time of the election of 2003. On its side, interdependent Quebec is opposed savagely to the creation of a two-speed health system.

Environment

The environment is an important concern for many Québécois voters. According to a survey CROP, 19% of the inhabitants of Quebec estimate that the environment will be the stake dominating of this electoral campaign. The public outcry having followed the advertisement of the construction of the power station of the South-wester, the debate surrounding the respect of the methods of the Protocol of Kyoto on the climate changes, the establishment of wind farms deprived in the areas or more recently the events surrounding privatization of a section of the National park of the Mount-Orford and discusses it concerning the prolongation of highway 25 in the area of Montreal show the growing importance of the file.

The Liberal party places the environment and sustainable development at the fifth rank in its electoral priorities. He recently proposed to decontaminate 400 mining sites of the area of Abitibi-Témiscamingue. The party also begins to offer a neutral assessment in what milked with the gas emissions with greenhouse effect emitted during the countryside, by paying the money in the funds green of the Department of the Environment.

The Québécois Party done of the environment one of the three principal stakes of its electoral platform (see the higher bond), if one trusts Internet site of the party. It also urges him to compensate for the gas emissions with greenhouse effect emitted during the program while joining the Unisféra organization; it moreover provided one environmental guide of “directing for submission to the electoral buildings drawing up the list of the gestures which will owe without fault being posed in each one local electoral” . Lately, he announced his intention to inject funds to encourage the development of green technologies in agriculture.

The democratic Action of Quebec would place the environment at the eighth rank of its priorities, if one trusts the political platform of the party (see the higher bond). It engages, following the example all other parties, to recycle its electoral signs at the end of the campaign and to equip Quebec with a strategy of energy efficiency.

Interdependent Quebec proposes an electoral platform centered at the same time on the environment and social justice. He proposes in particular a nationalization of wind energy, the development of general states on the condition of the forests of Quebec and the investments in public transport. Moreover, the formation proposes a modification with the Civil code to register water as “a public thing”.

The green Party of Quebec, surprised of its growing popularity, proposes a platform mainly directed towards the environmental stakes, in conformity with the Charte of the world Greens.

Education

One of the major elements of the debate on the education during the program is the question of the expenses of Scolarité to the Université. Those are reached a maximum with 55,61 $ by credit that the government pequist had announced it in 1994. At the time of the last electoral campaign, the liberals had not risked themselves on this subject by promising at the beginning of the countryside the continuity of the freezing of the expenses for all the duration of their mandate.

This situation is regularly denounced by the universities, those seeing a solution with their chronic under-financing there. Two of the parties represented with the National Assembly, is the Liberal party and the democratic Action, decided in favor of a thaw of the school fees. Jean Charest announced that it is committed to thaw out the school fees and increasing them by 50 $ by session (either 100$ per year), during 5 years, or an increase of 500$ where approximately 30%. This advertisement causes the grogne studying medium, Association for a trade-union solidarity coed (ADZE) positioned not only against the thaw, but for the school exemption from payment, the coeds Federations, university Fédération coed of Quebec (FEUQ that is to say the ) and its during collegial collegial the coed Federation of Quebec (FECQ), also decided against the thaw. Most recent studies of the minister of education, the Leisures and the Sports, advance that to 6000 students will not go to the university consequently of the thaw.

On its side, the Parti Québécois decided against the thaw school fees. At the time of its election as a chief of the party, André Boisclair had affirmed that education was its priority.

Interdependent Quebec decided in favor of the progressive attack of the school exemption from payment and of a Réforme of the Aide Financière with the studies. The green Party finally, at the time of its congress held in December 2006, decided in favor of the Indexation (thaw) of the school fees.

The democratic Action of Quebec promised in its program to abolish the school commissions and to transfer the service and stock management directly to the schools; the school tax will go to the municipalities, which will have the responsibility for the buildings and transport school. Mario Dumont estimates that the elimination of this “ intermediary bureaucratique ” will allow to save 150 million $ and will reduce the tax burden of the taxpayers. This proposal raised strong reactions on behalf of a party of the medium of education, in particular the Federation of the school commissions of Quebec.

Federal-provincial relations

Jean Charest wishes to negotiate a solution with the problem of the Fiscal imbalance between the governments federal and provincial with the first federal minister Stephen Harper. Its government thus hopes to see measures to the federal budget of spring 2007 to regulate imbalance, and exclude from launching an ultimatum to the federal government by using this question like a pretext to start an election. Jean Charest decided not to await and start the election before the federal depositing the amendment. Its adversaries criticized it, affirming to want to wait to see what the federal budget will comportora like measures of payment of fiscal imbalance. André Boisclair in particular showed Harper to want to involve itself in the Québécois electoral campaign, even if the date of depositing the amendment were announced before the release of the Québécois elections.

André Boisclair affirms to want to start another referendum on the sovereignty as soon as possible in the mandate if it is carried to the capacity, in accordance with what is registered with the electoral program of the Parti Québécois.

Interdependent Quebec is also souverainist. If it forms the next government, this party will make elect a constituent Assembly charged to decide future of Quebec. The project of the Parliament will be proposed with the population by way of referendum. If the referendum is gaining, the constituent Assembly will be charged to write a Québécois constitution.

Reasonable compromises

Unfolding of the countryside

War of the official statements

The countryside is marked by the publication of many press releases, of which about half coming the Liberal party. The other official statements come primarily from the PQ, the ADQ, the Greens and interdependent Quebec.

Discusses televised

A televised debate of the heads of party proceeds in the Ville of Quebec on March 13rd. The chiefs of the three parties in presence with the National Assembly, is Jean Charest, André Boisclair, and Mario Dumont took part in this debate.

Preparations

The place and the date of the debate were the subject of many negotiations. Finally, contrary to what had been done in the previous years, the debate took place in Quebec and not in Montreal. In fact, the three principal parties in string agreed to hold the event at the restaurant Parlementaire located inside the Parliament of Quebec.

Little before the behavior debate, the Liberal party wished that this one takes place with the red living room of the same building (where the Legislative council of Quebec sat before his abolition), it what the negotiators pequists granted. However, the democratic Action protested that since the red color is associated with the Liberal party, and that the decoration of the Parliament itself is associated with the capacity, this place would give a too great advantage to current the Prime Minister, Jean Charest.

Quebec interdependent and the green Party of Quebec, the two principal left thirds not having any representation with the Parliament, asked to be included in the debate, but this request was refused to them by the télédiffuseurs. Interdependent Quebec deposited a complaint against the Council of the press of Quebec, but this complaint could not be treated in time for the debate.

Surveys

the percentages represent one estimated of the voting intentions within the electorate.

Internet and the electoral campaign

Internet plays from now on a leading role within the framework of the provincial elections 2007: relay of the information published by the traditional mediums (television, radio, written press) and receptacle of the reactions and the intentions of the voters. Internet is from now on a media platform with the astonishing capacities of attraction as shows it the multiplication of the Blog S of countryside. A survey carried out for RTL by Novatris /Harris, within the framework of the French electoral campaign, mentions that nearly the quarter of the French believes that the Internet will have an influence on the result of the poll of April. In the United States, in fact the Pew Internet Institute affirms that the Internet is the independent source of information of the voters.

During the present Québécois program, several tools of predictions of results were popularized by blogists or media. One of most popular, Democraticspace , use the surveys to calculate the distribution of the seats. Another tool, Swammer , measurement the mediatization (visibility, topicality, popularity…) parties on the Web to release a tendency from it.
