In 1960 Jean Lesage and the liberals were in charge of Quebec. They changed around Quebec a lot in only six year. Jean Lesage funded the building of many provincial buildings, homes, institutions and government structures (schools and hospitals).Before this Maurice Duplessis and the Roman Catholic churches in Quebec rejected anything they thought to be progressive. As a result of this the literacy rate in Quebec was low and many were still living on farms with very large families and no health care plan http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/quiet-revolution/ .
