The Groupe parlementaire québécois (literally: Quebec Parliamentary Group) is a parliamentary group in the House of Commons of Canada formed on 28 February 2018. It was established by seven Members of Parliament (MPs) who resigned from the caucus of the Bloc Québécois (BQ) due to their opposition to the leadership of Martine Ouellet, as well as political differences with her strategy of emphasizing Quebec independence rather than a pragmatic approach that emphasizes the day-to-day interests of Quebec.
While the seven MPs have left the BQ parliamentary caucus, they remain members of the BQ party itself and have expressed the desire to remain so. The BQ party executive, in a meeting one week after the group's formation, ruled that the seven defecting MPs would not be expelled from the party for leaving the caucus, and would be allowed to rejoin the caucus in the future.
The group does not have a party leader but named Rhéal Fortin as its spokesperson on March 21, 2018.
The members of the parliamentary group are:
