The 2022 Quebec general election was held on October 3, 2022, to elect the members of the National Assembly of Quebec. [4] Under the province's fixed election date law, passed in 2013, "the general election following the end of a Legislature shall be held on the first Monday of October of the fourth calendar year following the year that includes the last day of the previous Legislature", [5] setting the date for October 3, 2022.

Contents

Premier François Legault's Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) increased its parliamentary majority in the election. The Liberals dropped to their lowest raw seat count since 1956, their lowest percentage of seats won since 1948 and recorded their lowest share of the popular vote in their history. [6] The Parti Québecois (PQ) had its worst general election result in history, losing most of its seats, but nevertheless managed to elect its previously seatless leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon. [7]

Previous promised plans for electoral reform were scrapped in 2021; as such, the election produced a highly distorted result which is common in Quebec's first past the post voting system. [8] As Liberal votes were concentrated on the Island of Montreal, the party received more seats than the rest of the opposition parties combined, remaining the official opposition despite finishing fourth in the popular vote. In contrast, the Conservatives increased their share of the vote to 13%; however, as their support was more spread throughout Quebec, they did not win any seats. [9] Quebecers elected the highest number of female candidates to the National Assembly in the province's history at 59, roughly 47% of the total number of seats. [10]

Background

The 2018 general election resulted in a landslide victory for the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) led by François Legault, which won 74 of 125 seats, giving the party a majority and unseating Philippe Couillard's Liberal Party after a single term in office. Couillard subsequently resigned as Liberal leader and was replaced on an interim basis by Pierre Arcand until his successor was chosen. [11] [12]

Both the Parti Québécois and Québec solidaire won ten seats each, fewer than the twelve needed for official party status; Parti Québécois leader Jean-François Lisée, defeated in his bid for re-election, resigned as party leader, replaced on an interim basis by Pascal Bérubé until his permanent successor was chosen. [13] [14] Adrien D. Pouliot, leader of the Conservative Party of Quebec, announced that he was stepping down as leader on October 16, 2020.

Following Couillard's resignation, the Quebec Liberal Party held a leadership race. Dominique Anglade, former Deputy Premier of Quebec, was acclaimed leader of the party after her only rival, former mayor of Drummondville, Alexandre Cusson, stepped down. Following a leadership race, Paul St-Pierre Plamondon was elected leader of the sovereignist party by the members and supporters of the Parti Québécois. Following Pouliot's resignation, the Conservative Party of Quebec held a leadership race. Éric Duhaime, a radio host and former political advisor, was elected as leader with just under 96% of the vote.

Name change of electoral district

In its 2022 amendments to the Charter of the French Language , the National Assembly of Quebec also provided for renaming the electoral district of Bourget as Camille-Laurin, [15] in honour of the Cabinet minister who promoted the original law. [16]

Issues

2022 Quebec election – issues and respective party platforms
IssueCAQQLPPQQSPCQ/CPQ
Identity, diversity, language, and secularism
  • PQ would remove the bilingual status of municipalities where Anglophones make up less than 33% of residents. [54] [55]
  • PQ would apply Bill 101 to CEGEPs, which would mean restrictions to access to English-language colleges.
  • PQ would create “an office for the promotion of Quebec cultural content.” [56]
  • QS would alter the province’s secularism law to let public sector workers affected by the legislation wear religious symbols at work, as long as their faces are uncovered. [57]
Immigration [58] [59]
  • CAQ would maintain immigration at around 50,000 per year which they said would be best matches the province’s “integration capacity.”
  • CAQ wants more control of immigration powers from Canada such as family reunification. [60]
  • Liberals would increase immigration target to 70,000 a year.
  • PQ would reduce the annual number of immigrants to 35,000 from roughly 50,000.
  • A PQ government would also ensure that all economic immigrants have knowledge of French before they arrive
Sovereignty
Economy and public finance
  • QS has proposed to introduce wealth and inheritance taxes on the wealthiest 5% of Quebecers, which it states would raise $2.65 billion a year. This includes a wealth tax rate of 0.1% for those with net assets of $1 million to $10 million and a tax rate of 1% for those with assets worth $10 million to $99 million. [61]
  • The PCQ has proposed to lower gasoline tax and end tax on second-hand goods. [62]
Health care
Education
Child care and families
Environment
  • Included within QS' climate plan is to create an intercity transport network that would make it possible to reach all cities by train and bus. [63]
  • QS wants to support farmers in transitioning towards organic farming. [63]
  • QS has plans to create an air quality auditor position in government, which would be given to an independent scientist who would enjoy powers similar to those of the Auditor General in the National Assembly. [64]
Transport
  • QS has planned for an eight-year, $47-billion infrastructure investment in the Montreal region’s public transit network, which would include subway expansion, a new tramway and reserved bus lanes. [65]
Housing
  • QS wants to buy 10,000 homes to resell at a discount. [65]
  • QS wants to build 25,000 social housing units within the next four years if it forms a government, with a long term aim of increasing this figure to 50,000. [66]

Role of disinformation during the campaign

During the campaign, the issue of online political disinformation misleading voters has been raised by outlets including the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). In September 2022, the CBC reported that opponents of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions used Facebook to spread a false rumor that Legault was booed out of a restaurant. According to CBC, "The post is one of many on social media that are misleading or outright false, with real-world consequences to both those who read it and to those involved in the event". [67]

According to the Centre for Media, Technology and Democracy (MTD) at McGill University, false allegations that polling outlets are unfairly biased against certain parties have spread on social media. Some online supporters of the Conservative Party of Quebec alleged collusion between the governing Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) and polling firm Léger. In response, a citizens' initiative emerged on Facebook urging individuals to file complaints over Léger, despite the fact that Élections Québec has no power to regulate the polling industry. [68]

Cancelled electoral reform referendum

Québec's 2022 Electoral reform Referendum
(government proposal)
October 3, 2022 (2022-10-03)
Do you agree with replacing the first-past-the-post electoral system by the mixed electoral system with regional compensation set out in the Act to establish a new electoral system?
French: Êtes-vous en accord avec le remplacement du mode de scrutin majoritaire uninominal à un tour par le mode de scrutin mixte avec compensation régionale prévu par la Loi établissant un nouveau mode de scrutin?

François Legault was elected on a promise to reform the electoral system within a year of his victory. On September 25, 2019, Minister of Justice Sonia LeBel presented Bill 39, An Act to establish a new electoral system which aims to replace the first-past-the-post electoral system in favour of a mixed-member proportional representation system. According to the bill, the National Assembly would have kept 125 members. Of the 125 members, 80 would have been elected by receiving a plurality of votes in single-member districts, similar to the existing system, matching the 78 federal ridings with the addition of 2 unique districts: Îles-de-la-Madeleine and Ungava. The remaining 45 members would have been chosen according to their order in a regional party list. All 17 regions of Québec would have been guaranteed at least one MNA. [104]

The proposed system was as such:

TOTAL8045

Bill 39 was intended to be debated in the legislature before June 2021. The bill's implementation would have been contingent on popular support expressed in a referendum held on the same day as the general election. [105] Had this referendum been successful, then the first legislature to be elected under mixed-member proportional would have been the 44th, in October 2026 at the latest. On April 28, 2021, Justice Minister LeBel informed a legislative committee hearing that the government would not move forward with a referendum on electoral reform in 2022. LeBel blamed the COVID-19 pandemic for altering the government's timeline and could not or would not commit to providing an alternate date for the referendum, effectively ending discussions about electoral reform in Quebec. [106]

Results

All parties experienced uneven results across the province:

  • While the CAQ saw its share of the vote rise by over 10 percentage points from 2018 in 21 ridings, its support also declined in 38 ridings, most significantly in those in Centre-du-Québec and Chaudière-Appalaches. [107] In those regions, and in Mauricie, the contests were between the CAQ and the Conservatives. [108] In Quebec City, the QS is also a significant player. [108] In the Côte-Nord and Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean its principal opponent is the PQ. [108]
  • The Liberal Party lost support in all ridings, with the exception of Marquette, and its decline in the ridings along the Orange Line in Montreal worsened from 2014. [107] In Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, its share of the vote fell to 4%, and in the Côte-Nord it dropped to 3%. [108]
  • Québec Solidaire lost the riding of Rouyn-Noranda–Témiscamingue only because of a swing from the Liberals to the CAQ. [107]
  • While the PQ lost several strongholds—notably in Jonquière, René-Lévesque and Rimouski —its support remained stable in 29 ridings and showed small gains in 28 others. [107]
  • The Conservative Party saw its total share of the vote increase ninefold with its percentage vote share rising in all contests, and in 12 ridings it increased by more than 20 percentage points. In addition to its strong gains in the regions south of Quebec City—with several second-place results—it also received significant anglophone support in the West Island ridings of Nelligan, Robert-Baldwin and D'Arcy-McGee. [107]

In Beauce-Nord, the Conservatives sought a judicial recount as they had come within 202 votes of defeating the CAQ incumbent Luc Provençal. The application was dismissed by the Court of Quebec. [109]
