A separatist party just won power in Quebec – what does that mean?CloseCanada’s Parti Québécois (PQ) is projected to have won enough seats in Quebec’s provincial election to form a minority government, though the separatists will need other parties’ support to achieve their aims – such as a new public vote on independence.It marks the first time the PQ has been in power since 2014, with Paul St-Pierre Plamondon set to become the province’s new leader.St-Pierre Plamondon has previously said a referendum vote would occur after President Donald Trump is out of office in the United States, explaining that a vote would require “conditions that allow for an informed and serene debate”.The BBC’s senior journalist Nadine Yousif explains what comes next.Shareclose panelShare pageCopy linkAbout sharingCanadaFollow Canadaclose panelYou are now following CanadaUpdates from your News topics will appear in My News and in a collection on the News homepage.QuebecFollow Quebecclose panelYou are now following QuebecUpdates from your News topics will appear in My News and in a collection on the News homepage.Read description
