The Coalition Avenir Qu\u00e9bec, which entered the election as the governing party, failed to win a seat and was wiped off the electoral map.<\/p>\n
Here are some key quotes from party leaders as the results came in on Monday evening:<\/p>\n
\u201cQuebecers have spoken tonight. They decided to elect a Parti Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois government while also asking it to work with the other parties. I understand that message perfectly, and I will do everything I can to live up to what Quebecers are asking of us.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2014 Parti Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon<\/p>\n
\u2014<\/p>\n
\u201c(The result) means that the Parti Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois does not have all the powers to do whatever they want. They\u2019re going to have to discuss, collaborate, and we\u2019ll be collaborating on some issues, but obviously not on the main issue (of a referendum).\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2014 Quebec Liberal Party Leader Charles Milliard<\/p>\n
\u2014<\/p>\n
\u201cHope is being reborn in Quebec, because tonight we have just written a page of history. For the first time in 100 years, Quebecers have decided to send a large caucus of Conservative MNAs to the National Assembly.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2014 Quebec Conservative Leader \u00c9ric Duhaime<\/p>\n
\u2014<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat a great campaign. We resisted. It felt like we were starting from pretty far behind. But damn, we fought like only the left knows how to fight.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2014 Qu\u00e9bec solidaire co-spokesperson Ruba Ghazal<\/p>\n
\u2014<\/p>\n
\u201cQuebecers have spoken. Their choice is clear. I respect it. The result is clearly not the one we were hoping for. And as leader, I take full responsibility. Not our candidates, not our activists, not our volunteers. Me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2014 Coalition Avenir Qu\u00e9bec Leader Christine Fr\u00e9chette<\/p>\n
