The Script error: No such module "Lang". (Script error: No such module "IPA".; "National Unity Party"), formerly the Script error: No such module "Lang". (Script error: No such module "IPA".; "Christian Democracy Party of Quebec"), was a social conservative political party in Quebec, Canada. It was founded in 2000 by Roman Catholics associated with the Centre d’Information nationale Robert Rumilly. The founding leader of the party was Gilles Noël.[1] The party's leader since 2010 has been Paul Biron, a retired engineer, whose brother, Rodrigue Biron, was leader of the conservative Union Nationale party from 1976 to 1980.[2]

Its program was a combination of Christian orthodoxy and Quebec nationalism.[3] The party is concerned about the declining birth rate in Quebec, opposed to same-sex marriage and abortion, wants more support for families, and wider availability of Quebec-made consumer products.

The Parti démocratie chrétienne du Québec's 24 candidates won 3,575 votes in the April 2003 general election, or about 0.1% of the popular vote. It proposed to fight the aging of Quebec's population by favouring the family through the creation of a family benefit of $430 per month per child under the age of 18. The party also proposed eliminating the $5/day universal child care program offered by the Government of Quebec at the time.[1]

The party won 1,620 votes in the March 2007 general election, or about 0.04% of the popular vote.
