Mouvement Québec français (MQF) is an umbrella group of organisations in favour of the preservation and defence of the French language in Quebec, Canada.
The MFQ was founded in the beginning of March 1971,[1] when François-Albert Angers, president of the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Society of Montreal (SSJBM) and Matthias Rioux, president of the Alliance des professeurs de Montréal (APM) decided not to renew the action of the Front du Québec français, founded on October 25, 1969,[1] but rather to start anew with a different organisation.
[4] It prepared two concise draft bills which it commented in a 13-page document entitled Notes explicatives sur les projets de lois présentés au premier ministre du Québec, published on January 18, 1972.
[5] During the campaign for the Quebec general election of 1973, the movement became very active and took various actions aiming at the sensitisation of the public to the language question.
It distributed 25,000 copies of a 96-page brochure entitled Je vote pour le Québec français, which was written by André Gaulin, Henri Laberge and François-Albert Angers.
