Legalult guarantees Dubé to Health, not Roberge to Education

He talks about Éric Girard in Finance, Sonia LeBel in Treasury and Pierre Fitzgibbon in Economy as a “dream team”. He doesn’t rule out having two ministers on Quebec’s South Shore, while he has recruited Bernard Drainville and Martine Biron as candidates.

A press conference in Lac-Mégantic on the promise of 1.5 billion sports infrastructure took a strange turn on Tuesday, when the captain wanted to tackle a completely different topic himself. He presented his “question from the ballot box”, the same choice made by the liberal leader Dominique Anglade on the day of the campaign’s launch: the economy.

“With inflation, with global economic uncertainty, with interest rates continuing to rise, I think the ballot box is about the economy. Who is able to help Quebecs and put money back in their wallets? he said, recalling his promises of allowances and tax cuts.

Then, he presented his “economic trio” which, according to him, has no equal in the other parties: “Éric Girard in finance, Sonia Lebel as president of the treasury council and Pierre Fitzgibbon as minister of the economy, I think it’s a bit to Heart team “He said. Trying to find who, in each of the other political formations, would fill these functions, according to him” sends shivers down my spine. ”

Having already said that “only” Christian Dubé can reorganize the health network, François Legault has assured that he will keep his job. “He is probably the most competent, ok. I wouldn’t be too worried in Christian’s place. He also claimed that “we could have a trio” at Health, as has been the case for the past four years.

And in education? “There are many to choose from, there are many. There’s the team we have with Isabelle [Charest]Jean-Francois [Roberge]and others have been added. We have many former principals, teachers, we have a president of a teachers’ union. We have a lot. The difficulty is choosing, “she said.

When asked if Jean-François Roberge should be worried, he replied that “there is no one who has a guaranteed job at the CAQ”. However, he had just secured a place for Christian Dubé.

“It will be from 4 October that I will see which formation is the best, but it will not be an easy exercise,” he added.

Among his “considerations” for the formation of a council of ministers is gender equality, but also regional representation. He said that “we cannot rule out” that Quebec’s South Shore has two ministers. Bernard Drainville and Martine Biron are his candidates in this sector.
