First Woman Elected Quebec Premier

Posted: Updated:
MONTREAL -

The Canadian Broadcasting Company has projected the separatist Parti Quebecois  won the Quebec election Tuesday.

Pauline Maurois is the party's leader and will become the first woman to serve as premier of the province.

The Liberal Party was ousted after 10 years in power.

Quebecois favors the separation of Quebec from the rest of Canada, but voters have defeated that idea twice, though narrowly in 1995.
