Prime Minister François Legault has discredited himself with his lies about the third link, says the liberal opposition.
The parliamentary leader of the official opposition, Monsef Derraji, gives no credibility to the most recent hypothesis of Mr. Legault, who returned to the charge on Wednesday by talking about a bridge to connect Lévis to Quebec.
According to the Liberal MP, the Prime Minister no longer has credibility after giving up his election promise of a tunnel between the two shores in April.
“The Prime Minister lied, reneged on his promise and today, he is throwing another proposal into the air without a timetable, without a plan and above all how he is going to finance it,” he said Thursday.
Mr. Derraji doubts that the Quebec government has the means to finance highway infrastructure without help from Ottawa.
“I no longer believe Mr. François Legault. There is no one in Quebec who believes Mr. Legault now. It’s very serious what’s happening. He can no longer do what he did in the last two elections. The honeymoon is over. »
According to the Liberal MP, the government will have to come with concrete plans to be taken seriously.
“If he wants us to take him seriously, let him come with a sketch, with a business table, with financing and how he is going to finance it. There, I’m going to believe it. But continue to do what he has done since the last two elections, I don’t buy that anymore,” he said.
The Parti Québécois (PQ) for its part rebounded from the most recent electoral defeat of the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) in Jean-Talon, Monday, to in turn doubt the hypothesis of a bridge between the two shores.
“The bridges between the CAQ government and the population of the Quebec region and Lévis and Chaudière-Appalaches are broken, and these are the ones that must be reestablished,” said MP Joël Arseneau. Restoring trust cannot be done by going back, by yo-yoing between a formal promise that we will keep at all costs, then a complete withdrawal of that promise, then a return with that promise, it does not work. »
