Ideology
The party's ideology has shifted between the two leaders. When the party was founded by Yvan Rodrigue, the party took more of a centre-right ideology, "advocating a "sound management of government spending" to alleviate Quebec's debt and reduce the tax burden". Additionally, Rodrigue proposed to "remove premiums in the public service, increase penalties for criminals, reduce debt and taxes, and impose a moratorium on shale gas". When Patricia Domingos took over the party in 2013, the party moved closer to the left of the political spectrum, shifting "to a political program based on ecology, sustainable development and social justice".
