The Quebec general election of 1994 was held on September 12 , 1994 , to elect members of the National Assembly of Quebec , Canada . The Parti Québécois , led by Jacques Parizeau , defeated the incumbent Quebec Liberal Party , led by Daniel Johnson, Jr. . Johnson had succeeded Robert Bourassa as Liberal leader and Premier. Both his father, Daniel Sr. , and brother, Pierre-Marc , had previously served as premiers of Quebec as leaders of different parties. This election was very significant for Quebec History , because it set the stage for the 1995 Quebec Referendum on independence for Quebec from Canada. In this referendum, the PQ's proposals for Sovereignty were very narrowly defeated. Mario Dumont , a former president of the Liberal party's youth wing, and then leader of the newly-formed Action Démocratique Du Québec , won his own seat, but his party did not elect any other members.
