  Climat Québec is a minor political party in the Canadian province of Quebec founded in 2021 by former Marois cabinet minister and leader of the Bloc Québécois Martine Ouellet.
  
  The party contested the Marie-Victorin by-election in April 2022, triggered by the resignation of Catherine Fournier, with Ouellet as its candidate. She received 1.9% of the vote, earning 6th place of 12 candidates in the by-election.
  
  ## Ideology
  
  Similarly to the Parti Québécois, which Ouellet was once part of, and Québec solidaire, Climat Québec positions itself on the centre-left of the Canadian political spectrum but intends to focus on the climate crisis and secession of Quebec from Canada.
