Affiliation Quebec is a registered political party in Quebec. It is strongly in favour of Canadian unity and opposes Quebec nationalism and sovereignty. Aside from the party's federalist agenda, its stated mission is to "actively pursue the full rights and interests of staunch Canadians living in the Province of Quebec." It opposes Quebec's language laws, states that "strong action is needed" to strengthen Quebec's economy, and claims to support "environmentally-friendly" policies.

Its leader, Allen E. Nutik, has described Affiliation Quebec as: "A NEW political party to refocus the agenda! We don't want to be LIED TO, nor undervalued again."

Affiliation Quebec was founded by a group of primarily Western Montreal anglophones. The party will succeed the defunct Alliance Quebec, Nutik predicted. It aims to build on voter disappointment with the Quebec Liberal Party and the Action démocratique du Québec, which Nutik said don't offer any particular consideration to minorities.

In May 2007, he announced his intention to run as a candidate for the next election of the National Assembly of Quebec, and has since announced his intention that the party will run candidates in six or seven of the assembly's 125 ridings.

On April 20, 2008, the Chief Electoral Officer of Quebec certified the group as an official party, making it eligible to run candidates in elections.
