The name was used from 1963 to 1994. The party originated from the Parti social démocratique du Québec (Social Democratic Party of Quebec) in 1963. After a split with the federal party over the question of Quebec independence in 1994, the party renamed itself the Parti de la Democratie Socialiste (Social Democratic Party of Quebec). The Federal NDP plans to restart the Quebec party after the 2012 provincial election, for which it had insufficient time to restart the provincial party.
