Which position did Charest resign from in 1990?
Minister of State
Deputy Prime Minister
Minister of Environment
Party Leader
Answer
The answer is Minister of State. Jean Charest resigned from this position in 1990 due to disagreements with the Meech Lake Accord, a proposed constitutional amendment aimed at addressing concerns of Quebec regarding its status within Canada. Charest believed the accord did not adequately protect Quebec's autonomy and language rights, and his resignation sparked a leadership crisis within the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada.
