(Quebec) The Minister for the Economy, Christopher Skeete, finds it hard to see how his government could do better in the regions.
This is what he said in response to Liberal André Fortin during an interpellation at the Salon Bleu on Friday.
Mr. Fortin asked him about the challenges in the regions, including in the pork and forestry industries.
The elected Liberal lamented that the Minister responsible for Regional Economic Development, Pierre Fitzgibbon, did not appear for questioning, preferring to dispatch his colleague Skeete.
The latter defended the results of the Coalition avenir Québec (CAQ) in the regions, and attacked the “credibility” of the Liberal Party, which only managed to elect one deputy outside Montreal. .
Friday’s arrest is reminiscent of “a young man reading a book about Italy and trying to tell us what the mountains of Tuscany look like,” Skeete said.
As for the actions of the CAQ in the regions, “I do not see what could be done better,” dropped the minister.
