quote:
C'est la premiиre fois en Amйrique du Nord, qu'un parti politique prйsente autant de femmes candidates. C'est le symbole d'une rйussite pour toutes ces femmes qui ont militй avec acharnement pour changer les mentalitйs. Pour Quйbec solidaire, la paritй homme-femme est essentielle pour rйellement permettre aux femmes de faire entendre leurs voix.

C'est un parti politique de gauche. Notement Franзoise David est chef du parti, mais il y a un deuxiиme chef aussi.

Le parti n'a pas de chef, mais bien deux porte-parole qui participent aux prises de dйcision du comitй de coordination. Le travail se fait de maniиre collйgiale et les porte-parole y participent au mкme titre que les autres йlus du comitй de coordination.Franзoise David, porte-parole
Amir Khadir, porte-parole.
Since the Quebec Elections Act allows only one leader, the titular leader of record is Rйgent Sйguin.

[url=http://www.equalvoice.ca:80/idx.php?rl=344]"An unacceptable retreat for Quebec!" Quebec Women's Organizations Disappointed by Election Results:[/url]
quote:
Six large feminist organizations are disappointed by the 5% decrease in the numbers of women elected to Quebec's National Assembly.A total of 32 women were elected in 2007 (25,6%), compared with 38 (30,4%) in 2003.
The political parties elected the following numbers of women:
PLQ, 16 elected out of 48 = 33%
PQ, 9 appointed out of 36 = 25%
ADQ, 7 appointed out of 41 = 17%Michele Asselin, President of the Federation of the Women of Quebec says, "It is clear that our electoral system does not ensure an equal representation between the women and the men. The 2007 election shows an unacceptable retreat for Quebec!"
Louise Paquet, spokesperson of the Collective Feminism and Democracy says "With 25.6% women elected to Quebec's National Assembly, more than 60 years after women won the right to vote, it is disappointing to see this attack on women's equality and political representation. We need a framework for forcing positive measures for women."
The elections results show that we need political parties to be engaged in women's representation. Quebec needs a bill to reform the electoral system to establish proportional representation to ensure the equal representation of men and women in the National Assembly.
Let us recall that on the initiative of the Collective Feminism and Democracy, 125 groups of women prepared a report to the Select Committee on the Electoral Law in the winter 2006 to support these claims.
The Liberal Government did not take action on these requests at the time of the release last February.
