Simon-Napoléon Parent
Simon-Napoléon Parent (September 12, 1855 – September 7, 1920) was the Liberal Premier of the Canadian province of Quebec from October 3, 1900 to March 21, 1905.
A lawyer by profession, he served as mayor of Quebec City from 1894 to 1906, which overlapped his career at the Legislative Assembly. He served in the cabinet of his predecessor Félix-Gabriel Marchand, who he succeeded upon the latter's death in office.
Under pressure from a dissident movement within his party led by Lomer Gouin, Adélard Turgeon and William Alexander Weir, Parent resigned as Premier in 1905.
Elections as party leader
He won the 1900 election and the 1904 election and resigned in 1905.
