Lucien Bouchard: Lisee and Martine Ouellet

lucien bouchard: Lisee, a one-time adviser to former premiers Jacques Parizeau and Lucien Bouchard, said during the leadership campaign he would not hold a referendum in his first mandate as premier, according to Huffington Post Canada. The next election will be held in the fall of 2018, with the following one set for 2022. Jean-Francois Lisee, 58, was elected PQ leader Friday, winning more than 50 per cent of support on the second round of voting. Lisee became leader after beating out fellow members of the legislature Alexandre Cloutier and Martine Ouellet and the unelected Paul St-Pierre Plamondon. His strategy of not supporting a referendum in a first PQ mandate paid off at a time when polls consistently suggest Quebecers do not want another plebiscite on the province political future.
