Description

The National Assembly of Quebec is one of the oldest parliamentary institutions in North America. Through the years it has developed many contacts with foreign Parliaments as well as with a variety of interparliamentary organizations. In so doing the National Assembly participates in many international activities, contributing thereby to Quebec's outreach abroad. This article presents an up-to-date picture of the international relations of the National Assembly, first by defining their field of action and their distinguishing features, then by explaining how they are conducted, by defining their objectives, and finally by stating the priorities for action. The changes that have occurred on the world stage, particularly since the early 1990s, have influenced the international stance our Assembly has adopted. The internationalization of exchanges together with the volume of the information available and the speed with which it circulates, now act upon every dimension of public life in contemporary societies and are of concern to the entire political class worldwide. That is all the more true of parliamentary institutions. Is it not the duty of elected officials to step to the fore when the well-being of their fellow citizens is affected directly, and sometimes harshly, by globalization? Ought they not to be the intermediaries to whom citizens spontaneously turn to find immediate solutions when, for example, jobs are lost because of a decision taken by the board of directors of a large multinational enterprise meeting thousands of kilometers away? Are they not the very ones who, as the custodians of the popular legitimacy conferred upon them through their election by universal suffrage, can make good the democratic deficit that is so often decried in connection with major international trade negotiations?
