  MONTREAL Claude Castonguay, the Quebec politician known as the father of the province s public healthcare system and a mastermind of the Quiet Revolution, has died at age 91, according to media reports. Castonguay, along with Jacques Parizeau, Michel Belanger and Claude Morin, was one of the main architects of the Quiet Revolution, the social movement that transformed Quebec during the 1960s. In his autobiography, titled Memoire d un revolutionnaire tranquille, Castonguay said he was “deeply convinced that social insurance is an essential element in any society oriented towards balanced economic and human development.” To that end, he played an important role in the creation of Quebec s rental board system and the Caisse de Depot, before chairing a small committee that brainstormed on how the provincial government would adopt a health insurance program larger than the hospital insurance system that was then in place.
