26th Legislative Assembly of Quebec

26th Legislative Assembly of Quebec

The 26th Legislative Assembly of Quebec was the political provincial legislature in Quebec, Canada that existed from June 22, 1960 to November 14, 1962. The Quebec Liberal Party led by Jean Lesage was the governing party after over 15 years of governance of the Union Nationale under Maurice Duplessis, Paul Sauvé and Antonio Barrette. It was the start of the Quiet Revolution era which rapidly reformed the province in several ways including education, health care, public sector and culture. The Legislature lasted only two years as Lesage held the next elections in 1962 as a referendum for the nationalization of hydroelectricity.
