(Quebec) The leader of the Conservative Party of Quebec is asking all parties to commit to limiting the number of ministers to 20 if they form a government. He would like to reduce the number of deputy ministers and would replace the responsibilities of the Secretariat for the Status of Women with a Ministry of Equality.

“I would like there to be a Ministry of Equality”, he replied when a journalist asked him if the slimming regime he proposes for a possible Council of Ministers would mean the abolition of the Council Status of Women and the Secretariat for the Status of Women.
“Not just on the status of women, but on all the inequalities that there can be in our society, people whether it is according to sexual orientation, according to their sex, according to their origins. »
The Conservative leader believes that “feminists in Quebec should even be proud that we can be there in the reflection”. “It proves that we are a society where we have been walking for the past 30, 40, 50 years. »
He attacked the Coalition avenir Québec, which according to him, sends the wrong signal to taxpayers and senior officials with its 26 ministers. He considers that certain positions of Ministers Delegate such as those for Health and Social Services, Transport, Education and the Economy. Other ministers could then combine more than one function.
