Changement Intégrité pour notre Québec (CINQ) is a minor political party in the Canadian province of Quebec founded in October 2016. [3] Its stated mission includes working for equality between men and women, promoting transparency and democratic accountability, and "stopping the transfer of wealth from the middle to the 'upper' class". [4] The party's proposals include efforts to counter corruption and political interference in the judiciary, and massive investments in education and healthcare. [3]

The party was among several prevented from running candidates who wore hijabs by a Chief Electoral Officer of Quebec requirement to submit an official photo of each candidate with an uncovered head. [5] In 2016, it ran Shirley Cedent and Eric Emond for deputy of Marie-Victorin and Saint-Jérôme respectively; they received 0.25% and 0.2% of the vote. [6]
