He held a press briefing at the National Assembly on Thursday, along with his deputy Claire Samson, to take stock of the parliamentary session.

Mr. Duhaime attacked the government of François Legault, who carried out a “great diversionary operation” to make people forget the confinement and the curfews, according to him.

The Coalition avenir Québec (CAQ) has imposed on Quebecers the “worst health measures on the continent, with the toll, in terms of deaths, which is the worst of all the provinces in Canada”, he hammered.

Éric Duhaime also denounced the “lamentable” state of the health network, which is “even worse today than when the CAQ came to power”, in 2018.

In terms of the rising cost of living, the Legault government was wrong to send Quebecers a check for $500 thinking that “we would settle all that and move on,” he believes.

The Conservative leader also accuses the CAQ of wanting to divide Francophones and Anglophones with its Bill 96 on the strengthening of measures to protect the French language.

“Our objective was precisely to take all this grumbling that was outside parliament and then bring it inside the walls of parliament, and that is still our objective,” he told the press. journalists.

With its 59,000 members acquired in just one year, the Conservative Party is well positioned to make a “breakthrough” on October 3, predicted Mr. Duhaime.

He invited Quebecers to elect a “diversity” of deputies, in order to preserve a healthy democracy in Quebec.
