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

We do not want the Quebec nation to disappear.

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.

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

Sovereignty was not an issue in this campaign. The sovereignty numbers that were there before the campaign are still there. Sovereignty is as alive as it was. But there is work to do to convince Quebecers.

I joined the PQ in the 1970s because of the issue of sovereignty. And that's why I wake up in the morning. A woman who gives birth to a country, that would be interesting.
