My victory is your victory. My victory is the victory of a unified party, a party that wants to propose to the Quebec people a country that is free and a country that is independent.

We do not want the Quebec nation to disappear.

The biggest risk to Quebec isn't sovereignty. It is staying in Canada.

Cynicism lost and hope won. For the first time, the government of Quebec will be led by a woman.

Never, never, will I accept, on issues of integrity, comparisons with the Liberal party.

I can assure you the hemorrhaging has stopped. I asked remaining caucus members if they adhered to the party program, if they would stay in the PQ and that they would be by my side. They all said yes.
