The party contested the Marie-Victorin by-election in April 2022, triggered by the resignation of Catherine Fournier, with Ouellet as its candidate.[5] She received 1.9% of the vote, earning 6th place of 12 candidates in the by-election.
Ideology edit
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.[6]
