US EditionPQ leader says it’s time to relaunch debate on sovereignty after Legault resignation
PQ leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon says Legault’s failure to secure Quebec gains proves the 'third way' has failed and sovereignty debate must be renewed.
- On Friday at the National Assembly, Paul St‑Pierre Plamondon said François Legault's resignation demonstrates the need to refocus Quebec politics on sovereignty.
- The PQ leader argued Legault's record shows the `third way` failed, as François Legault founded the Coalition Avenir Québec to offer increased autonomy within Canada.
- The PQ leader cited the CAQ's 21 requests to Ottawa, saying they were almost entirely ignored and pointing to immigration and health failures as proof the approach did not deliver.
- The Parti Québécois, leading in polls, has promised a referendum by 2030 if it forms government in the provincial election this fall, while Paul St‑Pierre Plamondon urged an earlier vote to avoid paralysis.
- Ironically, Legault created the Coalition Avenir Québec to avoid the sovereignty‑federalism split, but Paul St‑Pierre Plamondon says his resignation strengthens the Quebec sovereignty debate by proving there is no `third way`.
