19th Quebec Legislature

Last updated

The 19th Legislative Assembly of Quebec was the provincial legislature that existed in Quebec, Canada for less than a year from November 25, 1935, to August 17, 1936. The Quebec Liberal Party led by Louis-Alexandre Taschereau was in power for another consecutive term but he was replaced a few months before the elections by Adélard Godbout. However, it was the Liberals' final term before being defeated in 1936 by Maurice Duplessis' Union Nationale which was formed as a result of a merger between the Action libérale nationale and the Quebec Conservative Party between the 1935 and 1936 elections.
