Parti Nationaliste Du Qubec

The Parti nationaliste du Qubec was founded by supporters of the Parti Qubcois after the Social Credit Party of Canada imploded in Quebec as a means of giving PQ supporters an alternative to federalist parties. The party was undermined by the success of Brian Mulroney's Progressive Conservatives in building a coalition with Quebec nationalists to defeat the federal Liberals. The Parti nationaliste never won any seats but is seen by many as a predecessor to the Bloc Qubcois. The Parti Nationaliste was founded by Marcel Lger, who became its interim leader on September 14 1983 until May 17 1984. Lger was one of the first Parti Qubcois members elected to the National Assembly in 1970. He was appointed Minister of the Environment in the first PQ cabinet in 1976, but was dropped from Cabinet in 1982. He was replaced as interim leader by Denis Monire, who was defeated in the 1984 Canadian election that brought Brian Mulroney to power. Monire went on to help found the Parti indpendantiste in 1985, which was a Quebec provincial party rather than a federal party.
