A CBC News story today says that a “group of former Conservative MPs
and their allies are hoping to revive the provincial Conservative Party in
Quebec.”
The story
went on to say that the leader of the party is former Quebec city
Conservative Party MP, Luc Harvey. Harvey stated, "For the last two years we were thinking about this opportunity to
start our party."
"We think it's much better to move on the right and to make the
modifications that will give the opportunity to the province of Quebec to
continue to support [all of the] people in the province."

Others who back the party include another former Harper MP Daniel Petit ... and Jean-François Plante, who was a leadership
candidate for Action Démocratique du Québec.
According to the story, 1935 was the last year a Conservative member sat
in Quebec’s legislative assembly.
