August 9, 1930 -
Jacques Parizeau - 26th Preimer of Quebec - Is
an
economist and noted
sovereignist (the term commonly
used in Quebec for
separatist) who served as
Premier of
Quebec,
Canada, from
September 26,
1994 to
January 29,
1996. He went on to graduate
with a
PhD from the
London School of Economics in
London,
England. A believer in
Keynes' theory of economic
interventionism, he was one of the most important advisors to
the provincial government during the 1960s, playing an important
behind the scenes role in the
Quiet Revolution. He was
especially instrumental in the
nationalization of
Hydro-Québec (a hydro-electric
utility), the nationalization of the
Asbestos Corporation Limited
mines, and worked with
Eric Kierans to create the
Quebec Pension Plan. Parizeau gradually became a committed
sovereigntist, and officially joined the
Parti Québécois (PQ) on
September 19,
1969. After the PQ was elected
to office in the
1976 provincial election, the
new premier,
René Lévesque, appointed
Parizeau as
Minister of Finance. Parizeau
played an important role in the
1980 Quebec referendum campaign
in favor of the government's proposals for
sovereignty-association, i.e.,
political independence from Canada. In the
1989 election, Parizeau's first
as PQ leader, his party did not fare well. But five years later,
in the
1994 election, they won a
majority government. Parizeau promised to hold a referendum on
Quebec sovereignty within a year of his election, and despite
many objections, he followed through on this promise. In the
beginning, support for sovereignty was only about 40% in the
public opinion polls. As the campaign wore on, however, support
for the "Yes" side grew larger. This growth halted, however, and
Parizeau came under pressure to hand more of the campaign over
to the more moderate and conservative
Lucien Bouchard, the popular
leader of the federal
Bloc Québécois party.
Parizeau agreed, and as the campaign progressed, lost his
leadership role to Bouchard. Parizeau was born in Montreal,
Quebec, Canada on this day. |
