The Liberal Party of Quebec (PLQ) may stagnate in the polls, but it intends to regain a majority in October by winning at least 63 seats.
As part of the assessment of the 42nd legislature, the liberal leader Dominique Anglade said she was “confident” in view of the next election. She wants to form a majority government, despite voting intentions that place the party at 18%, according to the latest Léger poll last May. This represents one more point than the sounding carried out a month earlier.
The government of François Legault is that of “arrogance and division”, hammered Dominique Anglade. The Coalition avenir Québec (CAQ) has “passed partisan interests ahead of those of Quebecers,” she lamented, adding in passing that only her party defended the cause of Quebec in Canada.
At the end of a week marked by the debate on independence, the “resolutely federalist” caucus of the PLQ closed the session by singing the bilingual version of “O Canada”, then “Gens du pays”, in a committee room. of the Parliament Building.
On the subject of the departure of the 13 members of the Liberal caucus, Dominique Anglade said that he was in the process of “ensuring the renewal of political training”, while building on the heritage of the party. Those who leave “are people who have contributed for years and who have made the deputies who are representing themselves better,” she said.
Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois has “gained experience”
Ten years after the Maple Spring, Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois will this time ask Quebecers to support him as Premier of Quebec. The elected representative of Quebec solidaire claims to have taken “experience”. “There is no one who does not change,” he said, he who had been criticized by a large part of the population for his involvement in the student movement in 2012.
Québec solidaire is called upon to grow, believes “GND”. The October election will be an opportunity to make gains, he said, without saying how much. “The CAQ patch crises as we patch potholes in Quebec. It doesn’t work, it’s not serious, we can’t patch the cost of living crisis,” he argued.
“Nothing is played”
The Parti Québécois (PQ) will lose at least three of its deputies by October. Heavyweights like former ministers Véronique Hivon and Sylvain Gaudreault are jumping ship.
Despite everything, its leader, Paul St-Pierre Plamondon begins the election summer saying to himself that “nothing is certain”. “I don’t think the polls are a government’s record,” he said during his party’s legislative review. Look closely at the real problems in people’s lives that remain after four years of the CAQ, listen to the groups that openly say they are dissatisfied with the government. »
The CAQ will make its own assessment of the legislature on Friday noon.
