Канаданың Квебек провинциясы ұлттық федерациясы

Canadian federation
Founded in 1947, the Mouvement national des Québécoises et des Québécois (MNQ) is a federation that groups together the various patriotic organizations in Quebec, Canada. Its membership includes 19 National Societies (Sociétés nationales) and Saint Jean Baptiste Societies (SSJB) throughout all of Quebec. Its stated mission is to "promote and defend the French language and national pride". Since 1984, the MNQ is responsible for coordinating the festivities for Quebec's national holiday on June 24. The current president is Martine Desjardins.

In 1947, nine of Quebec's SSJB (those of Sherbrooke, Trois Rivières, Quebec City, Rimouski, Saint Hyacinthe, Nicolet, Hull, Saint Jean and Chicoutimi), formed the Fédération des Sociétés Saint Jean Baptiste du Québec during a congress in Sherbrooke. This happened not long after the start of diverging opinions among the members of the ephemeral federation (1945–1946), whose members counted all the SSJB of Quebec and Ontario. In spite of this failure, the SSJB of Quebec and Ontario continued to collaborate closely up until the 1960s. The young Quebec federation initiated various actions and took part in the efforts for the development of Quebec which accelerated after World War II. The federation participated to the popular movement that led to the adoption of the fleurdelisé as Quebec's Flag in 1948, organized the National Conference on Education which led, in 1964, to the creation of a Quebec Ministry of Education, and helped with setting in motion the Estates General of French Canada. In 1969, the federation's position was "in favour of the total political sovereignty of Quebec", affirming that sovereignty "is an essential condition for a methodical (orderly) development of the human, physical and economic resources of the Quebec community." It also supports PQ National Assembly member Daniel Turp's initiative to obtain a qc country code for Quebec following the precedent of a cat for Catalonia.
