MONTREAL — Parti Quebecois members have resoundingly endorsed the leadership of Jean-Francois Lisee in a confidence vote.
Lisee received 92.8 per cent support from the sovereigntist party’s membership in a vote at a party convention in Montreal.
The vote is a boost for Lisee, who has said he will forgo any independence referendum in a first Parti Quebecois mandate if he wins next year’s provincial election.
Earlier on Saturday, party delegates proposed a resolution that would gradually cut funding to English junior colleges.
