Like Robert Bourassa, Premier François Legault must at least be able to “express Quebec’s options, or name the possibility of Quebec independence”.
This is what PQ leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon said following his interview with his CAQ counterpart on Tuesday.
This discussion on independence formed the preamble to the meeting, said the PQ leader in an interview with The Canadian Press on Tuesday afternoon.
“In my opinion, François Legault must at least equal Robert Bourassa in the ability to express Quebec’s options, namely to name the possibility of Quebec independence. »
