In the news today: gun review lags, Quebec cabinet swearing-in, vigil for Wainwright
St-Pierre Plamondon's Parti Québécois won 59 seats in October's election, falling short of the 64-seat majority needed to govern alone.
- Paul St-Pierre Plamondon will be sworn in today as Quebec's 34th premier, officially bringing the Parti Québécois back to power after more than a decade. He will unveil his cabinet following the ceremony.
- The Parti won 59 seats in the Oct. 5 provincial election but fell short of the 64 needed for a majority government. The sovereigntist party's electoral performance sets the stage for today's transition.
- Last week, elected representatives completed their swearing-in and took an oath of allegiance to the people of Quebec rather than the King. This procedural shift reflects the party's sovereigntist principles.
- St-Pierre Plamondon's refusal to swear loyalty to the King in 2022 prompted the legislative requirement to be dropped. Today's ceremony reflects that earlier procedural change.
- This transition officially ends the Parti's more than decade-long absence from Quebec's government. The minority position will shape legislative dynamics in the National Assembly going forward.
