As its name suggests, the Quebec Liberal Party prioritizes respect for individual freedoms. Whether it is a bill, a regulation, or a government program, the primary concern of a liberal mind is to ensure that it will not result in unjustified restrictions on individual freedoms. Any limitation on these freedoms, to be acceptable, must be justified by a greater good, which must be conclusively established.[\/vc_column_text][nectar_video_lightbox link_style=\"play_button_with_text\" nectar_play_button_color=\u00a0\"Extra-Color-1\" nectar_play_button_style=\"default\" font_style=\"p\" video_url=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-1C5GC_xQGM\" link_text=\"Play Video\"][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_tablet=\"inherit\" column_padding_phone=\"inherit\" column_padding_position=\"all\u00a0\" flex_gap_desktop=\"10px\" column_element_direction_desktop=\"default\" column_element_spacing=\"default\" desktop_text_alignment=\"default\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\u00a0\"default\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_backdrop_filter=\"none\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" column_link_target=\u00a0\"_self\" overflow=\"visible\" gradient_direction=\"left_to_right\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" width=\u00a0\"1\/2\" tablet_width_inherit=\"default\" animation_type=\"default\" bg_image_animation=\"none\" border_type=\"simple\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][image_with_animation image_url=\"23726\" image_size=\"full\" max_width=\"100%\u00a0\" max_width_mobile=\"default\" animation_type=\"entrance\" animation=\"None\" animation_movement_type=\"transform_y\" hover_animation=\"none\" alignment=\"\" border_radius=\"15px\u00a0\" box_shadow=\"none\" image_loading=\"default\"][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css= \".vc_custom_1769013561262{margin-top: 50px !important;}\" text_direction=\"default\"]<\/p>
The Liberal Party has consistently been committed to promoting both Quebec\u2019s economic and social development. Because economic development creates the wealth on which a society must rely to fund its social development, it has been a major priority for all Liberal governments in the modern era.[\/vc_column_text][nectar_video_lightbox link_style=\"play_button_with_text\" nectar_play_button_color=\u00a0\"Extra-Color-1\" nectar_play_button_style=\"default\" font_style=\"p\" video_url=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dIGBkgBqqhw\" link_text=\"Play Video\"][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_tablet=\"inherit\" column_padding_phone=\"inherit\" column_padding_position=\"all\u00a0\" flex_gap_desktop=\"10px\" column_element_direction_desktop=\"default\" column_element_spacing=\"default\" desktop_text_alignment=\"default\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\u00a0\"default\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_backdrop_filter=\"none\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" column_link_target=\u00a0\"_self\" overflow=\"visible\" gradient_direction=\"left_to_right\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" width=\u00a0\"1\/2\" tablet_width_inherit=\"default\" animation_type=\"default\" bg_image_animation=\"none\" border_type=\"simple\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][image_with_animation image_url=\"23745\" image_size=\"full\" max_width=\"100%\u00a0\" max_width_mobile=\"default\" animation_type=\"entrance\" animation=\"None\" animation_movement_type=\"transform_y\" hover_animation=\"none\" alignment=\" \" border_radius=\"15px\u00a0\" box_shadow=\"none\" image_loading=\"default\"][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css= \".vc_custom_1769013556524{margin-top: 50px !important;}\" text_direction=\"default\"]<\/p>
Identity in Quebec begins with identifying with its Francophone majority. It requires embracing the aspirations of this majority, as well as its history, language, and culture, its institutions, ways of life, and distinctive characteristics. The Quebec Liberal Party recognizes the distinctive character that the Francophone majority brings to Quebec society, and is committed to always affirming and defending Quebec\u2019s French character, and above all by being itself a party with a clear Francophone majority, without prejudice, however, to the equal rights of all its members.[\/vc_column_text][nectar_video_lightbox link_style=\"play_button_with_text\" nectar_play_button_color=\"Extra-Color-1\" nectar_play_button_style=\"default\" font_style=\"p\" video_url=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/t-xUaxLlYQg?si=cys-zBdlQr3lF_n4\u2033 link_text= \u201cPlay Video\u201d][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_tablet=\"inherit\" column_padding_phone=\"inherit\" column_padding_position=\"all\u00a0\" flex_gap_desktop=\"10px\" column_element_direction_desktop=\"default\" column_element_spacing=\"default\" desktop_text_alignment=\"default\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\u00a0\"default\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_backdrop_filter=\"none\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" column_link_target=\u00a0\"_self\" overflow=\"visible\" gradient_direction=\"left_to_right\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" width=\u00a0\"1\/2\" tablet_width_inherit=\"default\" animation_type=\"default\" bg_image_animation=\"none\" border_type=\"simple\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][image_with_animation image_url=\"23746\" image_size=\"full\" max_width=\"100%\u00a0\" max_width_mobile=\"default\" animation_type=\"entrance\" animation=\"None\" animation_movement_type=\"transform_y\" hover_animation=\"none\" alignment=\"\" border_radius=\"15px\u00a0\" box_shadow=\"none\" image_loading=\"default\"][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css= \".vc_custom_1769013561262{margin-top: 50px !important;}\" text_direction=\"default\"]<\/p>
A society that focused exclusively on exalting individual values would quickly become a selfish society. Sooner or later, it would fall under the domination of its strongest members, to the detriment of its weaker members. Without necessarily being poor, many low-income individuals and households would be denied access to services such as education and health care, which they cannot afford on their own. Pooling resources is therefore necessary to ensure reasonable equality of opportunity for all and a minimum level of justice throughout society.[\/vc_column_text][nectar_video_lightbox link_style=\"play_button_with_text\" nectar_play_button_color=\"Extra-Color-1\" nectar_play_button_style=\"default\" font_style=\"p\" video_url=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/1FafhswKC4M?si=1Vwy4MV6B7e0cwwV\u201d link_text=\u201dPlay video\u201d][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_tablet=\"inherit\" column_padding_phone=\"inherit\" column_padding_position=\"all\u00a0\" flex_gap_desktop=\"10px\" column_element_direction_desktop=\"default\" column_element_spacing=\"default\" desktop_text_alignment=\"default\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\u00a0\"default\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_backdrop_filter=\"none\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" column_link_target=\u00a0\"_self\" overflow=\"visible\" gradient_direction=\"left_to_right\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" width=\u00a0\"1\/2\" tablet_width_inherit=\"default\" animation_type=\"default\" bg_image_animation=\"none\" border_type=\"simple\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][image_with_animation image_url=\"23747\" image_size=\"full\" max_width=\"100%\u00a0\" max_width_mobile=\"default\" animation_type=\"entrance\" animation=\"None\" animation_movement_type=\"transform_y\" hover_animation=\"none\" alignment=\"\" border_radius=\"15px\u00a0\" box_shadow=\"none\" image_loading=\"default\"][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css= \".vc_custom_1769013556524{margin-top: 50px !important;}\" text_direction=\"default\"]<\/p>
The term \u201ccivil society\u201d generally refers to the totality of human activities that typically take place outside the marketplace and the political sphere. Every individual and every group has its own conception of life and its own values. Rather than seeking to impose its own views at all costs, the state should instead seek institutional arrangements that, while respecting public order and morality, take into account the continuous evolution of opinions and patterns of behavior.[\/vc_column_text][nectar_video_lightbox link_style=\"play_button_with_text\" nectar_play_button_color=\"Extra-Color-1\" nectar_play_button_style=\"default\u00a0\u201d font_style=\u201dp\u201d video_url=\u201dhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/KGLNErTpTlk?si=ImgSyingNyEPEwlG\u201d link_text=\u201dPlay Video\u201d][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_tablet=\"inherit\" column_padding_phone=\"inherit\" column_padding_position=\"all\u00a0\" flex_gap_desktop=\"10px\" column_element_direction_desktop=\"default\" column_element_spacing=\"default\" desktop_text_alignment=\"default\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\u00a0\"default\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_backdrop_filter=\"none\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" column_link_target=\u00a0\"_self\" overflow=\"visible\" gradient_direction=\"left_to_right\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" width=\u00a0\"1\/2\" tablet_width_inherit=\"default\" animation_type=\"default\" bg_image_animation=\"none\" border_type=\"simple\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][image_with_animation image_url=\"24091\" image_size=\"full\" max_width=\"100%\u00a0\" max_width_mobile=\"default\" animation_type=\"entrance\" animation=\"None\" animation_movement_type=\"transform_y\" hover_animation=\"none\" alignment=\"\" border_radius=\"15px\u00a0\" box_shadow=\"none\" image_loading=\"default\"][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css= \".vc_custom_1769013561262{margin-top: 50px !important;}\" text_direction=\"default\"]<\/p>

While upholding Canadian federalism, the Quebec Liberal Party has always maintained that, as the primary expression of the French presence in Canada, Quebec cannot be just another province within the federation. Through the voices of all the leaders who have headed the party to date, it has maintained that, in addition to being a province in the legal sense of the term, Quebec constitutes a distinct society in many respects, particularly because of its language, culture, legal system, institutions, and ways of life. The Quebec Liberal Party is nevertheless convinced that maintaining the Canadian federal link is the most appropriate constitutional option for promoting the best interests of Quebec and its partners.[\/vc_column_text][nectar_video_lightbox link_style=\"play_button_with_text\" nectar_play_button_color=\u00a0\"Extra-Color-1\" nectar_play_button_style=\"default\" font_style=\"p\" video_url=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/LLcxCp6BSh0\" link_text=\"Play Video\"][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_tablet=\"inherit\" column_padding_phone=\"inherit\" column_padding_position=\"all\u00a0\" flex_gap_desktop=\"10px\" column_element_direction_desktop=\"default\" column_element_spacing=\"default\" desktop_text_alignment=\"default\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\u00a0\"default\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_backdrop_filter=\"none\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" column_link_target=\u00a0\"_self\" overflow=\"visible\" gradient_direction=\"left_to_right\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" width=\u00a0\"1\/2\" tablet_width_inherit=\"default\" animation_type=\"default\" bg_image_animation=\"none\" border_type=\"simple\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][image_with_animation image_url=\"24106\" image_size=\"full\" max_width=\"100%\u00a0\" max_width_mobile=\"default\" animation_type=\"entrance\" animation=\"None\" animation_movement_type=\"transform_y\" hover_animation=\"none\" alignment=\"\" border_radius=\"15px\u00a0\" box_shadow=\"none\" image_loading=\"default\"][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css= \".vc_custom_1769013561262{margin-top: 50px !important;}\" text_direction=\"default\"]<\/p>
Intergenerational equity upholds the right of future generations to live in a society that is as prosperous and developed as those that helped build it. This principle calls on policymakers to approach public policy from a long-term and innovative perspective, so that the next generation does not have to suffer the economic, social, and environmental consequences of decisions made by their predecessors. A responsible government must meet the needs of the current generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In Quebec\u2019s public debate, this concept is particularly relevant to the management of public finances and debt repayment, pension plans, and the exploitation of our natural resources.[\/vc_column_text][nectar_video_lightbox link_style=\"play_button_with_text\" nectar_play_button_color=\u00a0\"Extra-Color-1\" nectar_play_button_style=\"default\" font_style=\"p\" video_url=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/6QdIEM5wt5M\" link_text=\"Play Video\"][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_tablet=\"inherit\" column_padding_phone=\"inherit\" column_padding_position=\"all\u00a0\" flex_gap_desktop=\"10px\" column_element_direction_desktop=\"default\" column_element_spacing=\"default\" desktop_text_alignment=\"default\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\u00a0\"default\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_backdrop_filter=\"none\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" column_link_target=\u00a0\"_self\" overflow=\"visible\" gradient_direction=\"left_to_right\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" width=\u00a0\"1\/2\" tablet_width_inherit=\"default\" animation_type=\"default\" bg_image_animation=\"none\" border_type=\"simple\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][image_with_animation image_url=\"24104\" image_size=\"full\" max_width=\"100%\u00a0\" max_width_mobile=\"default\" animation_type=\"entrance\" animation=\"None\" animation_movement_type=\"transform_y\" hover_animation=\"none\" alignment=\"\" border_radius=\"15px\u00a0\" box_shadow=\"none\" image_loading=\"default\"][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css= \".vc_custom_1769013556524{margin-top: 50px !important;} \" text_direction=\"default\"]<\/p>
At the initiative of the Youth Commission, members of the Quebec Liberal Party adopted a resolution in November 2021 to include a ninth liberal value: environmental protection. As a result, every action our party takes is now considered from this perspective. Action by a political party is a good start, but more needs to be done. Society as a whole must follow suit. Thus, a Liberal government will enshrine the right to environmental preservation and biodiversity as fundamental rights protected by the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_tablet=\"inherit\" column_padding_phone=\"inherit\" column_padding_position=\"all\u00a0\" flex_gap_desktop=\"10px\" column_element_direction_desktop=\"default\" column_element_spacing=\"default\" desktop_text_alignment=\"default\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\u00a0\"default\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_backdrop_filter=\"none\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" column_link_target=\u00a0\"_self\" overflow=\"visible\" gradient_direction=\"left_to_right\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" width=\u00a0\"1\/2\" tablet_width_inherit=\"default\" animation_type=\"default\" bg_image_animation=\"none\" border_type=\"simple\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][image_with_animation image_url=\"24097\" image_size=\"full\" max_width=\"100%\u00a0\" max_width_mobile=\"default\" animation_type=\"entrance\" animation=\"None\" animation_movement_type=\"transform_y\" hover_animation=\"none\" alignment=\"\" border_radius=\"15px\u00a0\" box_shadow=\"none\" image_loading=\"default\"][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css= \".vc_custom_1769013561262{margin-top: 50px !important;}\" text_direction=\"default\"]<\/p>
