After a difficult year, Prime Minister François Legault hopes to avoid new “distractions” by refocusing his government on the fundamental priorities of the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ).
Absent from the media radar for almost a month, Mr. Legault spoke at the opening of a two-day caucus of his deputies in Sherbrooke, in anticipation of the return of parliament next week.
“In 2024, particularly in the session which is beginning, we really want to refocus, to be able to concentrate on these five priorities,” he declared in front of his deputies gathered in a conference room of a Sherbrooke hotel.
Mr. Legault reiterated that education, health, the economy, the environment and the protection of Quebec identity are the fundamental pillars of the CAQ.
“We are going to wish each other a good political new year with, how should I say it, fewer distractions than in 2023 and return to our five priorities,” he said.
