Biography

The record holds three affiliation changes for Luc Thériault, in the House of Commons. On February 28, 2018 the recorded affiliation changes from the Bloc Québécois to the Groupe parlementaire québécois; the record files this one change under two separate events, and the duplication is shown here rather than merged away. On June 6, 2018 the recorded affiliation changes from the Groupe parlementaire québécois to Québec debout. On September 17, 2018 the recorded affiliation changes from Québec debout to the Bloc Québécois. All of these changes are recorded as legs of a group event. Three of the four event records carry a citation. The other one is a legacy lead with no source cited. These entries record the affiliations and their dates. They do not record why the changes were made, and nothing here should be read as a statement of motive. The record holds no riding, no year of birth and no election result for Luc Thériault. This paragraph was assembled by machine from the rows named in it, and is pending review.

It was inherited, or entered from a lead, and it has not been checked against a source.What you may rely onTreat as a lead, not as a finding. Usable to know where to look; not usable as the basis of a published statement. Expect year-precision dates and unconfirmed party labels.Editorial status: Legacy leadThe label is a warning, not a formality. Legacy leads are the part of the record most likely to carry a wrong year, a collapsed episode, or a party label that did not exist under that name at the time.This record does NOT pass the publication gate and is not publishable as verified fact.

Where they sat

Compiled affiliation spans — “sat as X from then to then”.

No affiliation spans have been compiled for this person yet. That means the compilation has not been done — it does not mean they never sat with a party.

Assumptions: Machine-assembled from this database’s own rows and from no other source. The text restates, as sentences, the participant rows attached to this record: the affiliation recorded on either side of each change, the date at the precision that row carries, the jurisdiction and chamber, whether the change is filed under a group event, and whether the event record behind it carries a citation. No date is printed finer than the row’s date_precision, so a year-precision row yields a year and never a day. Both languages are composed from the same rows rather than translated from one another. No motive, benefit, causation or characterisation of a person appears, and none may be added under this claim.
Counterarguments: Two limits, stated rather than glossed. First, the prose is only as sound as the rows beneath it: where a party link is wrong the wrong party name is printed, and where an event is a legacy lead the sentence repeats an unverified lead — saying so, but repeating it. Second, restating a thin record fluently can make it read as established; the pending status on this claim, and the sentence inside the text naming the evidence state, are the only things that say otherwise. Four label-to-party mappings were deliberately not printed, because the party row’s name did not exist on the date of the event; the underlying links were left untouched and are still visible on the record.
