Outgoing premier Legault says CAQ is the only party addressing Quebec's economy and French language decline, with a strong team despite leadership race and minister departures.
- On Wednesday at the National Assembly, François Legault said he is confident the party he co-founded will remain a political force after he is replaced as leader and took questions in Quebec City.
