Bulletins of the week at the National Assembly: Legault lacks respect for Yves Michaud

Here are the elected officials or political party leaders who stood out for the right or wrong reasons over the past week.

François Legault, CAQ

The day after the announcement of his death, the PM maintained that he was living well with his vote of censure against Yves Michaud, held in the Assembly in 2000, adding that he had made comments ” unacceptable” towards the Jewish community. However, there is nothing to conclude that the comments were anti-Semitic. Rather, it is an injustice.

Benoit Charette, CAQ

He had said the arrival of the Northvolt battery factory would “help achieve our decarbonisation targets”. However, the Ministry of the Environment is unable to demonstrate with the support of documents or data that this would be the case. Charette had to mend his ways and admit that he did not know what the impact of the project would be on his targets. Oops.

Bernard Drainville, CAQ

Its dashboard will make it possible to monitor school data, make observations and make corrections. He is right to think about creating a list. Everyone tends to put more effort into improving themselves, being compared with their peers. Pieces of reform are starting to fall into place.

Marie-Claude Nichols, independent

Very felt intervention on the despair of municipal elected officials struggling with the rise in incivility. She highlighted nonsense, when it is necessary to adopt a council resolution for an elected official to be able to obtain a support service, while sometimes it is other people sitting on the council who are his or her harassers.

IN BULK

Girard smiles again

After a stormy week for him and his $11 billion deficit budget, Eric Girard couldn’t help but laugh when a journalist asked him on Tuesday: “Are you still in Moody’s against us?” Appreciating the pun with the name of the listing firm, the minister agreed that it was “good”.

Duhaime loses feathers

The leader of the Conservative Party of Quebec did not shy away from admitting on X that the latest Léger poll was “disappointing” for his party. The decline is only 1% in voting intentions in general, but Éric Duhaime must be worried about the 13% support which now places him in fourth place in the Quebec region.
