Parti Québécois wins minority government in Quebec

Quebec voters elected a Parti Québécois minority government, while the governing Coalition Avenir Québec suffered a near wipeout.

Why it matters

A sovereigntist party in power could revive debate over Quebec independence and Canadian unity.

Background

The Parti Québécois supports Quebec sovereignty and held referendums on it in 1980 and 1995, both narrowly lost. The Coalition Avenir Québec had governed the province since 2018.
