The by-election was caused by the decision of PQ MNA Rosaire Bertrand to stand down to offer the new Parti Québécois leader Pauline Marois a way to become an MNA. The Liberal Party of Quebec stated that it would not stand a candidate against Marois so that all three party leaders would be represented in the National Assembly, but the Action démocratique du Québec did run a candidate. The ADQ accused the Liberals and the PQ of a lack of democratic principles, claiming that it was not necessary for a third-party leader to be represented in the National Assembly.http://www.canada.com/montrealgazette/news/story.html?id%3D32f0f664-6034-4aa0-81a1-78916a76ac6b Charlevoix vote next month offers Marois leg-up to Assembly 2007-08-23 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20121026062812/http://www.canada.com/montrealgazette/news/story.html?id=32f0f664-6034-4aa0-81a1-78916a76ac6b 2012-10-26 PQ Leader Marois gets chance at assembly seat Sept. 24 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/pq-leader-marois-gets-chance-at-assembly-seat-sept-24-1.648566 CBC News August 23, 2007 Results Charlevoix by-election, September 24, 2007 QC PQ Pauline Marois 11 400 59.20 +21.53 QC ADQ Conrad Harvey 7 125 37.00 +6.22 QC Green David Turcotte 403 2.09 -0.20 QC Parti démocratie chrétienne Paul Biron 135 0.70 +0.7 QC Independent Claude Gagnon 77 0.40 +0.4 |- QC Independent row |Independent (F4J) |Daniel Laforest |align="right"|64 |align="right"|0.33 |align="right"|+0.33 |- QC Independent row |Parti république |François Robert Lemire |align="right"|52 |align="right"|0.27 |align="right"|+0.27 |} References Charlevoix provincial by-election Charlevoix provincial by-election Charlevoix provincial by-election Category:Provincial by-elections in Quebec
