Legacy
In 2006, under the Conservative government of Stephen Harper, the Canadian House of Commons passed a motion recognizing "that the Québécois form a nation within a united Canada". The motion was without constitutional force, however. In the subsequent election of 2008, the Conservatives won ten seats in Quebec, the same number as they had won in 2006. In the 2011 election, the Conservatives were reduced to five seats in the province.
