Mme Anglade began by listing the problems that have made the headlines in recent months: high inflation, growing wait times for a family doctor and in emergencies, violence, and labor shortages. “Meanwhile, what is François Legault doing? Nothing,” she said. “Ah no, he does commercials,” she corrected herself.
The themes of the environment and housing were also in the spotlight in the speech of the leader of the Quebec Liberal Party (PLQ), who put forward the “ECO project” and its electoral platform, unveiled in June .
She also unveiled the party’s slogan for the upcoming election campaign: “Vote true. Real issues. Real solutions. The slogan is reminiscent of that of the 2014 elections: “Together, we take care of real business”, which saw former Liberal Prime Minister Philippe Couillard win.
