Unreferenced date July 2009 The Parizeau Affair in French l Affaire Parizeau was a political controversy that occurred in Quebec during the Quebec general election, 2003 2003 Quebec general election campaign. Description On the day of the leaders debate, Jean Charest , leader of the Liberal Party of Quebec , was presented by his entourage with an article from the website of the Trois Rivi res, Quebec Trois Rivi res newspaper Le Nouvelliste Quebec Le Nouvelliste . It spoke of past Parti Qu b cois leader Jacques Parizeau reiterating the controversial money and the ethnic vote statement of his 1995 Quebec referendum 1995 referendum concession List of speeches speech . Despite the nebulous aspect of this preliminary web article, Charest surprised Bernard Landry with it during the leaders debate on live television. This resulted in a new controversy that ran for some days following the debate, and was said to have hurt Landry s campaign. A strategy of the PQ was to denounce Charest s act as an immoral attack on a person s reputation and dignity Parizeau , since the conclusion that he had repeated his comments was seen as hasty and ultimately wrong, but the strategy arguably did not work well enough to counter the controversy. Meanwhile, Landry mentioned on several occasions during press conferences that Parizeau s comments in 1995 were unfortunate and that he Landry disagreed with them. The Parizeau Affair is thoroughly treated in the documentary Hauteur d homme .
