social conservative political party in
Quebec,
Canada. It was founded in 2000 by
Roman Catholics associated with the ''
Centre d’Information nationale Robert Rumilly''. The founding leader of the party is
Gilles Noël.
Its program is a combination of
Christian orthodoxy and
Quebec nationalism. The party is concerned about the declining birth rate in Quebec, opposed to
same-sex marriage and
abortion, wants more support for families, and wider availability of Quebec-made consumer products.
The party won 3,575 votes in the
April 2003 general election, or about 0.1% of the popular vote, and 1,620 votes in the
March 2007 general election, or about 0.04% of the popular vote.
