Chronology from June 2005 to April 2007

• April 27, 2005; Mr. Stéphan Tremblay (PQ) introduced Bill 390 to the National Assembly.
• May 11, 2005; Mr. Thomas J. Mulcair (LPQ), Minister of Sustainable Development, Environment and Parks at the time, rejected Bill 390 for a second reading.
• June 2005; EcoContribution launches this petition in support of Bill 390.
• October 27, 2005; EcoContribution delivers a first petition of 50,023 signatures to Mr. Tremblay. The petition is presented to the National Assembly, but Mr. Mulcair rejected Bill 390 for a second reading, for the second time.
• February 28, 2006; Mr. Claude Béchard (LPQ) replaces Mr. Thomas J. Mulcair as Minister of Sustainable Development, Environment and Parks.
• March 2006; Bill 390 is kept on the Order Paper by the Liberal Party of Quebec (the LPQ could have chosen to drop Bill 390 - the first petition of 50,023 signatures delivered by EcoContribution probably had some part in this favourable decision).
• June 7, 2006; EcoContribution delivers a second petition of 64,045 signatures to Mr. Tremblay, which is presented to the National Assembly. Press conference.
• October 11, 2006; Mr. Stéphan Tremblay announces he is leaving the political scene for an undetermined period of time, for personal reasons, and will not be seeking reelection in March of 2007. The Parti Québécois is maintaining Bill 390 and will continue to promote it. The petition is therefore still open and current.
• April 18, 2007; Mrs. Line Beauchamp (LPQ) is named Minister of Sustainable Development, Environment and Parks, with the naming of the new Liberal Cabinet (following the March 2007 provincial elections).
