One year from election, Quebec premier to shuffle cabinet amid scandals, dismal polls

Quebec Premier François Legault will announce a cabinet shuffle on Wednesday, hoping to boost his party's prospects ahead of next year's election.
Former members of the right-of-centre Action démocratique du Québec party, François Bonnardel and Éric Caire, are expected to be left out of the new cabinet.
Recent polls show Legault's Coalition Avenir Québec trailing the surging sovereigntist Parti Québécois after a series of scandals and the bankruptcy of a major battery plant investment.
