Porte Saint-Louis et monument François-Xavier-Garneau Pierre Joosten, CCNQ, 2001 ...vous pénétrez dans le secteur de la COLLINE PARLEMENTAIRE BONNE VISITE 1 MONUMENT FRANÇOIS-XAVIER-GARNEAU À votre droite, voyez le monument François-Xavier-Garneau. Cette œuvre de Paul Chevré a été réalisée en 1912. Garneau était considéré comme l’historien national du Canada français. De 1845 à 1848, il écrit la première Histoire du Canada. Ensuite, traversez l’avenue Honoré-Mercier et dirigez-vous vers l’Hôtel du Parlement. 2 MONUMENT HONORÉ-MERCIER Sur la place de l’Assemblée-Nationale, regardez à gauche de l’allée principale. Le monument Honoré-Mercier est également une œuvre de Paul Chevré, réalisée aussi en 1912. Premier ministre du Québec de 1887 à 1891, Honoré Mercier a été un ardent défenseur de l’autonomie du Québec au sein de la Confédération. 3 MONUMENT LOUIS-HIPPOLYTE-LA FONTAINE Un peu en retrait du monument Honoré-Mercier, vous apercevrez le monument Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine. Réformiste, Louis-Hippolyte La Fontaine a été chef du premier gouvernement responsable de la Province du Canada – conjointement avec Robert Baldwin – de 1848 à 1851. 4 MONUMENT LOUIS-JOSEPH-PAPINEAU Toujours à votre gauche, s’élève le monument Louis-Joseph- Papineau. Grand démocrate, ce chef du Parti canadien puis du Parti patriote a été l’Orateur de la Chambre d’assemblée du Bas-Canada pendant plus de 20 ans, de 1815 à 1823 et de 1825 à 1838. LE CIRCUIT DE LA COLLINE PARLEMENTAIRE 5 Salle de l’Assemblée nationale Collection de l’Assemblée nationale 5 HÔTEL DU PARLEMENT L’Hôtel du Parlement abrite l’Assemblée nationale où siègent les 125 parlementaires du Québec, les députés. Il a été construit entre 1877 et 1886 d’après les plans de l’ingénieur et architecte Eugène-Étienne Taché. De style Second Empire, l’Hôtel du Parlement est un édifice imposant: les quatre ailes forment un carré d’environ 100 mètres de côté. Sur la façade principale du bâtiment, on compte 22 statues de bronze. Réalisées par plusieurs artistes, ces statues rendent hommage aux femmes et aux hommes qui ont marqué l’histoire du Québec: personnages politiques, explorateurs, fondateurs, militaires, missionnaires, administrateurs. Commencé en 1875, cet ensemble de monuments a été achevé en 1969 par l’installation du bronze de Maisonneuve. L’architecte Taché avait élaboré tout le programme pour les statues. Cependant, dès 1913, les divers gouvernements y ont ajouté des personnages non prévus par l’architecte. L’impressionnante fontaine de l’entrée principale rend hommage aux premiers occupants de l’Amérique: les Amérindiens. Les sculptures qui ornent la fontaine, Halte dans la forêt (1889) et Le pêcheur à la nigogue (1891), sont de Louis-Philippe Hébert. Au-dessus de la porte centrale, vous voyez les armoiries du Québec et sa devise: Je me souviens.L’architecte Taché ainclus cet élément décoratif parce qu’il résumait bien l’esprit historique qu’il a voulu donner à l’édifice. La devise est devenue officielle en 1939, lorsque le gouvernement québécois a adopté ses nouvelles armoiries. En levant les yeux, vous apercevez le fleurdelisé tout au haut de la tour: c’est le drapeau du Québec depuis 1948. Il est également possible de visiter l’intérieur de l’Hôtel du Parlement. Vous y découvrirez une architecture et une décoration intérieure éloquentes, qui racontent l’histoire du Québec. Des guides vous y recevront. Les visites sont 6 offertes en français, en anglais et en espagnol. Vous pourrez visiter la salle de l’Assemblée nationale où se déroulent les débats parlementaires et y admirer des éléments décoratifs et des œuvres d’art magnifiques. Vous aurez aussi accès àlasalle du Conseil législatif et à la galerie des Présidents. Le restaurant de l’Assemblée nationale est également un lieu à découvrir. Le Parlementaire émerveille par sa décoration intérieure de style Beaux-Arts et sa cuisine réputée. L’entrée des visiteurs se trouve à l’angle de l’avenue Honoré-Mercier et de la Grande Allée Est, porte 3, près du monument Louis-Joseph-Papineau. 5 RENSEIGNEMENTS: Assemblée nationale Direction du protocole et de l’accueil Édifice André-Laurendeau 1050, rue des Parlementaires Québec (Québec) G1A 1A3 Téléphone: (418) 643-7239 Télécopieur: (418) 641-2638 Restaurant Le Parlementaire Site Internet: www.assnat.qc.ca Collection de l’Assemblée nationale Photo: Marc Lajoie 6 MONUMENT JEAN-LESAGE Empruntez le sentier qui s’ouvre à droite de la fontaine. Tout au bout s’élève le monument Jean-Lesage, une œuvre d’Annick Bourgeau réalisée en 2000. Jean Lesage a été premier ministre du Québec de 1960 à 1966; il est considéré comme le père de la Révolution tranquille. Monument Jean-Lesage Pierre Joosten, CCNQ, 2002 LE CIRCUIT DE LA COLLINE PARLEMENTAIRE 7 7 ÉDIFICE PAMPHILE-LE MAY À votre gauche, relié par une passerelle à l’Hôtel du Parlement, se trouve l’édifice Pamphile-Le May, construit entre 1910 et 1916. Cet édifice abrite la Bibliothèque de l’Assemblée nationale. Il porte d’ailleurs le nom de la première personne à avoir occupé le poste de bibliothécaire de cette institution après la Confédération. 8 INUKSUK Un peu à droite du monument Jean-Lesage, vous apercevez, en contrebas, l’Inuksuk. Cet amoncellement de pierres «à l’image d’un homme» a été érigé en octobre 2002 en signe d’amitié entre la nation québécoise et la nation inuite. Il a été réalisé avec des pierres provenant des quatre coins du Nunavik. Panneau d’interprétation de la promenade des Premiers-Ministres Commission de la capitale nationale du Québec 9 PROMENADE DES PREMIERS-MINISTRES Empruntez maintenant la promenade des Premiers-Ministres. Allant de l’avenue Honoré-Mercier à la rue De La Chevrotière, cette promenade surplombe le boulevard René-Lévesque. Une série de panneaux d’interprétation y résument la carrière politique des premiers ministres qui ont dirigé le Québec depuis la Confédération en 1867. 8 10 MONUMENT RENÉ-LÉVESQUE D’ailleurs, à votre gauche, vous voyez le monument René-Lévesque, une œuvre de Fabien Pagé réalisée en 2001. Décédé en 1987, René Lévesque a été premier ministre du Québec de 1976 à 1985. On lui doit notamment la Charte de la langue française et la Loi régissant le financement des partis politiques. 11 ÉDIFICE HONORÉ-MERCIER Construit entre 1922 et 1924 dans le style Beaux-Arts, l’édifice Honoré-Mercier est le premier édifice situé le long de la promenade. Il accueille le Conseil exécutif, la salle du Conseil des ministres et le bureau du premier ministre. L’ensemble formé par l’Hôtel du Parlement et les édifices Pamphile-Le May et Honoré-Mercier a été désigné site historique national, en raison de sa valeur historique et symbolique. 12 ÉDIFICE JEAN-ANTOINE-PANET Un peu plus loin, toujours à votre gauche, l’édifice Jean-Antoine-Panet est aussi de style Beaux-Arts. Il a été construit entre 1931 et 1932.

  • Hydro-Québec: an Electrifying Tale
    Hydro-Québec: an electrifying tale HYDRO-QUÉBEC: A FORERUNNER IN THE FIELD OF RENEWABLE ENERGY Environmental issues have become a major concern in the 21st century, but already in the late 19th century Québec was a precursor in the development of renewable energy. Its innovative approach is not surprising, given that Québec possesses over 40% of Canada’s water resources in the form of 130,000 watercourses and 1,000,000 lakes. THE FIRST STEPS TOWARDS CREATING A QUÉBEC SYMBOL Under the government of Adélard Godbout, Québec nationalized the electrical assets of the Montreal Light, Heat and Power Company and placed them under the management of the Quebec Hydroelectric Commission in order to supply electricity to municipalities, industrial and commercial enterprises, and private citizens at the lowest rates consistent with sound financial administration. On April 14, 1944, Hydro-Québec was born. Its first actions were to improve the reliability of its transmission and distribution grid. It continued work to develop the Beauharnois generating station, commissioned in 1932, and launched its first major project: to harness the power of the Betsiamites river on the North Shore. This gave Hydro-Québec an opportunity to hone its skills and show the world that it could transmit electrical energy over Picture : © Archives d’Hydro‑Québec large distances at a voltage of 315 kV, a record at the time. The monthly magazine Le Progrès à la ferme promoted rural electrification Picture : © Archives d’Hydro‑Québec in the 1950s. Logo used by Hydro-Québec from 1944 to 1964. CONSOLIDATION OF HYDRO-QUÉBEC’S ACTIVITIES At the request of the government led by Maurice Duplessis, Hydro-Québec focused on the large-scale electrification of rural regions in Québec, but it was only under the government of Jean Lesage, in the early 1960s, that Hydro-Québec completed its nationalization of the province’s private electricity producers and distributors.

Through my research I have found that both entities follow a very similar timeline with highs and lows coming around the same time in the same province; although, I have not found any direct linkage between the two. My analysis begins around 1837 and continues through present day, and by analyzing the histories of each movement demonstrates clearly that both movements followed a unique and similar timeline.

  • Identity Paradiplomacy in Québec
    Identity Paradiplomacy in Québec Stéphane Paquin École nationale d’administration publique Identity Paradiplomacy in Québec This article explains why Québec is one the most active subnational governments at the international level. Traditionally, researchers discuss paradiplomacy and protodiplomacy, but neither concept fits the case of Québec very well. In Québec, there is a consensus among the political parties that favors “identity paradiplomacy.” The fundamental aim of Québec’s identity paradiplomacy is to construct and reinforce Québec’s national identity by undertaking international actions abroad. Identity paradiplomacy is more intense than typical paradi- plomacy and is distinct from protodiplomacy in that it does not aim for political independence. The twofold purpose of Québec’s international strategy is to galvanize Québec’s development and to achieve international recognition of Québec as a nation abroad. L’objectif de cet article est d’expliquer pourquoi le Québec est un des États fédérés les plus actifs sur la scène internationale. Règle générale, les spécialistes utilisent deux concepts, ceux de paradiplomatie et de protodiplomatie, pour expliquer les actions internationales des États fédérés, mais ces deux concepts ne rendent pas justice au cas du Québec. Au Québec, il existe un consensus entre les partis politiques pour mettre en œuvre une « paradiplomatie identitaire » dont l’objectif fondamental est la construction et la promotion de la nation québécoise par l’entremise d’actions internationales. La paradiplomatie identitaire est plus intense que la paradiplomatie mais distincte de la protodiplomatie puisque le but de l’action internationale n’est pas l’atteinte du statut de pays souverain. For well over half a century now, the Québec government has pursued its own international policy parallel to that of the Canadian federal government, a practice known to scholars as paradiplomacy.

  • American Review of Canadian Studies, Volume 46.2
    AMERICAN REVIEW OF CANADIAN STUDIES, VOLUME 46.2 PUBLISHED ON-LINE 6 JUNE 2016 A Quiet Revolution in Diplomacy—Quebec–UK Relations Since 1960 Tony McCulloch University College London Abstract Quebec’s modern international outlook and its current paradiplomacy can be dated largely from the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s. Since then, the provincial government in Quebec City and the Federal Government in Ottawa have had to tread a fine line in accommodating each other’s constitutional rights in the field of international relations—a line that has occasionally been breached, especially in the years following the Quiet Revolution and in critical periods such as those prior to the 1980 and 1995 referenda. Foreign governments have also had to engage in careful diplomacy in order to avoid upsetting either Ottawa or Quebec City—and this has been especially true in the case of the countries historically most involved with Canada and Quebec—France, the US, and Britain. But whereas there has been some academic writing on Quebec’s relationships with France and the US, very little attention has been devoted to Quebec–UK relations since the Quiet Revolution. This article seeks to fill that gap and argues that the Quebec–UK relationship since the 1960s can itself best be characterized as a “quiet revolution” in diplomacy that has largely avoided the controversies that have sometimes dogged Quebec’s relations with France and the US. Keywords: Quebec; United Kingdom; Quiet Revolution; patriation; monarchy; paradiplomacy Introduction While diplomatic relations between Quebec and the UK can be dated back to before the First World War—the first Quebec legation in London opened in 1908—it was not until the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s, associated with Jean Lesage and the Quebec Liberal party, that the province began to take full advantage of its international potential.

  • Hydro-Quebec's Dams Have a Chokehold on the Gulf of Maine's Marine Ecosystem
    HYDRO-QUEBEC’S DAMS HAVE A CHOKEHOLD ON THE GULF OF MAINE’S MARINE ECOSYSTEM By Stephen M. Kasprzak January 15, 2019 PREFACE I wrote an October 15, 2018 Report “The Problem is the Lack of Silica,” and a November 28, 2018 Report, “Reservoir Hydroelectric Dams - Silica Depletion - A Gulf of Maine Catastrophe.” The observations, supplements and references in this Report support the following hypothesis, which was developed in these two earlier Reports: Hydro-Quebec’s dams have greatly altered the seasonal timing of spring freshet waters enriched with dissolved silicate, oxygen and other nutrients. This has led to a change from a phytoplankton-based ecosystem dominated by diatoms to a non-diatom ecosystem dominated by flagellates, including dinoflagellates, which has led to the starvation of the fisheries and depletion of oxygen and warming of the waters in the estuaries and coastal waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Gulf of Maine and northwest Atlantic. Physicist Hans J. A. Neu offered a similar hypothesis in his 1982 Reports and predicted the depletion of the fisheries by the late 1980’s and a warming of the waters. Anyone who wants to question this hypothesis has to also question more than 40 years of research, which the passage of time has documented the earlier research and predictions as correct. If you stopped burning fossil fuels tomorrow, it will not stop the starving of the fisheries . This will only happen if you release the chokehold on the rivers and allow the natural flow of the spring freshet and the transport of dissolved silicate and other essential nutrients.
