In the 2008 Canadian Federal Election, how many seats will the NDP win in Quebec?

Settled as 1 seat

Thomas Mulcair won back his seat fro the NDP in a close race.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canadavotes/ridings/quebec.html

Background:

For only the second time ever in history, the NDP won a seat in Quebec, after the Outremont by-election in 2007. They hope to build on that number, in light of increased hope from polls, and despite dismal performances in the past. Now that a General Election is expected on October 14, 2008, how will they do?


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.
