Leader Michel Paré Ideology Regionalism | Founded 2008 | |
L’Union du centre was a political party in Quebec, Canada, founded by Parti Liberal du Quebec cabinet minister Robert Dutil. The party was founded in 2008, with over 100 members. It was authorized by the Directeur Général des Élections du Québec on January 8, 2008, but never ran a candidate for office before it was dissolved in 2010.
Dutil claimed that the party would stand up for Central Quebec, as he objected to the tax credits given to other regions in Quebec are harmful to the economy of the region. André Arthur, Independent MP for Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier, declared his support for the party.
However, in November 2008 before the party fielded a candidate in an election, Dutil announced that he would be running as a Liberal Party candidate in Beauce-Sud. On June 9, 2010, the Chief Electoral Officer released a statement saying that the party's official status had been withdrawn.
