Quebec Premier Accepts Invitation to Meet with Carney
St-Pierre Plamondon says Quebec law requires the meeting to be held in Quebec City after tensions over Quebec’s role at the Canada-EU Summit.
- Quebec Premier Paul St-Pierre Plamondon accepted Prime Minister Mark Carney's invitation to meet before the Francophonie Summit, stipulating the discussion occur in Quebec City to comply with the National Capital Commission Act.
- Tensions flared last week during the Canada-European Union Summit in Montreal, where St-Pierre Plamondon felt the federal government "decided to exclude Quebec from the discussions." He described his role as "relegated to the status of an extra."
- After being denied a speaking slot, St-Pierre Plamondon refused to attend the summit dinner, sending newly-appointed chief diplomat Pascal Paradis in his place. Carney told reporters it was the premier's "decision to leave the chair empty."
- Carney aims to "set common goals" ahead of the Francophonie Summit, an overture St-Pierre Plamondon acknowledged on Sunday by thanking the prime minister for his "change in tone."
- St-Pierre Plamondon is set to lead the Quebec delegation to the Francophonie Summit, scheduled for Nov. 14–16 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The meeting between the two leaders aims to align provincial and federal priorities before the international event.
