The New Democratic Party of Quebec (French: Nouveau Parti démocratique du Québec; NPDQ) is a minor federalist and social-democratic provincial political party in Quebec, Canada. The party is a revival of the comparable Nouveau Parti Démocratique du Québec, which existed in various forms as the federal New Democratic Party (NDP)'s provincial affiliate in Quebec from 1963 to 1991. The current party, however, has never been connected with the federal NDP.[2] The modern party was registered on 30 January 2014.[3]
