Relive five of the moments that marked the lively Patrice Roy evening.
Pandemic and mental health
During the segment on mental health, François Legault accused Éric Duhaime of having been “irresponsible” and of having taken advantage of the suffering of Quebecers during the pandemic.
“Magic” and “Halloween decorations”
About the QS polluting vehicle tax, François Legault criticized Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois for wanting to do “magic”. The latter invited the outgoing Prime Minister to stop scaring Quebecers and put away “his Halloween decorations”.
Fwomen at work and CPE
Dominique Anglade criticized François Legault for having contributed to the decline of women in the labor market. She pointed out that several mothers cannot return to work due to the lack of places in CPEs.
More or less private health?
The tone rose between Éric Duhaime and Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois during an exchange on the place of private health. In response to the solidarity leader who wants less, the conservative leader asserted that if “socialism” worked in health, “we would know”.
The THREE elephants in the room
For Patrice Roy, the elephant in the room was the third link. For Paul St-Pierre-Plamondon, Quebecers’ taxes paid to oil companies. The last elephant: the labor shortage, according to Dominique Anglade.
