Charest's campaign focused on health care. He promised to cut government 
subsidies, tax credits to big businesses and trim the civil service.  
Charest 
also predicted Parti Quebecois leader Premier Bernard Landry would call another 
sovereignty referendum of elected. 
The Liberals defeated the ruling Parti 
Quebecois and Landry; and Mario Dumont's upstart Action Démocratique du Québec. 
Prime Minister Jean Chrétien expressed his satisfaction with the results, 
reading the results to guests at a state dinner in the Dominican Republic. The 
prime minister is there on an official visit. 
"Between Mike Weir and Quebec 
we have two good things," said Chrétien.
