'''Charles Ernest Gault''' (September 19, 1861 – December 25, 1946) was a politician in [[Quebec]],
He was born in [[Montreal]], [[Canada East]], and educated at the [[High School of Montreal]].<ref>{{Quebec MNA biography|gault-charles-ernest-3365|Charles Ernest GAULT}}</ref>
He was first elected to the [[Legislative Assembly of Quebec]] in a 1907 by-election in [[Montréal division no. 5]], and was re-elected in [[1908 Quebec general election|1908]]. He was elected in [[Montréal–Saint-Georges]] in [[1912 Quebec general election|1912]], [[1916 Quebec general election|1916]], [[1919 Quebec general election|1919]], [[1923 Quebec general election|1923]], [[1927 Quebec general election|1927]], [[1931 Quebec general election|1931]], and [[1935 Quebec general election|1935]]. He lost in [[1936 Quebec general election|1936]] and retired from politics.
On November 7, 1932, the Conservative caucus chose [[Maurice Duplessis]] to be leader of the Opposition, replacing Gault. Duplessis was formally elected Conservative Party leader on October 4, 1933. On December 12, 1933, Gault was expelled from the Conservative caucus and sat as an independent. He was re-elected in the 1935 election as a Conservative, but in his unsuccessful election bid in 1936 he ran as an independent Conservative candidate and lost to [[Gilbert Layton]] of the [[Union Nationale (Quebec)|Union Nationale]], which had been formed from the merger of the now-defunct Conservative Party of Quebec and the short-lived [[Action libérale nationale]].
