Québec solidaire co-spokesperson Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois wants the party to go into listening mode to take stock of the last election campaign and to meet Quebeckers in the regions to prepare its vision for the future. .
Nearly 300 Québec solidaire delegates are meeting in Montreal this weekend to take stock of the last election campaign and define a vision for the future as part of a National Council meeting at Collège Ahuntsic in Montreal. On the agenda: the results of the last election campaign, the question of gender parity within the party, that of the complexity of the proposals, and future orientations.
“We still have a lot of work to do to become the political house of all Quebecers,” admitted Mr. Nadeau-Dubois at the start of the day on Saturday in front of the assembled activists.
We have to get into listening mode, we have to get into regional mode, this is the major project to which we invite you this weekend.
Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois, QS co-spokesperson
The party of Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois and Manon Massé dreamed of forming the official opposition in the National Assembly, but only elected 11 deputies on October 3.
A minute of silence for Laval
The political party opened the National Council on Saturday with a minute of silence to highlight the tragedy that occurred in Laval this week.
“It is sure that this is a body that stands at a difficult time for the people of Quebec, explained to the media a little earlier Manon Massé, co-spokesperson for the party. With the tragedy that happened in Laval last week, it touched the hearts of everyone, especially of course the parents of young children. We see each other, we plan, we worry and the members tell us a lot about it. »
“The file is closed”, concerning Haroun Bouazzi
The deputy in solidarity with the constituency of Maurice-Richard Haroun Bouazzi has been targeted in the last few days by allegations of irregularities concerning his nomination process more than a year ago.
Quebecor newspapers reported on Friday that party members accused Bouazzi of paying members for cards to get more votes at the nomination meeting, breaking the law.
“We listened to these members about a year ago when the events occurred, underlined Mr. Nadeau-Dubois in a press scrum. The management checks were carried out under the supervision of a lawyer, to ensure that everything was done according to the rules of the art, that all Quebec electoral laws were respected. We have the assurance of it, therefore for us, this file is closed. »
