Two days before the second debate of the leaders of the electoral marathon and after several days of controversy over the third link between Quebec and Lévis, the outgoing Prime Minister tried to refocus the debate on the economy.

A speech that is reminiscent of that held by the Liberal leader since the start of the campaign.
According to François Legault, it is the CAQ which can count in its ranks on the economic “dream team” with Eric Girard in Finance, Sonia Lebel in the Treasury and Pierre Fitzgibbon in the Economy. The economic teams of other political parties “give shivers down the spine”, he insisted.

The CAQ “dream team” in education is less certain. “There is plenty to choose from, there are many, there is the team we had with Isabelle (Charest) and Jean-François (Roberge) and there are others who have been added. . We have a lot of former school principals, teachers, we have a president of a teachers’ union, so we have a lot of them, the difficulty is to choose, ”said François Legault.
