“We must stop violating this law,” the Quebec mayor wrote in a message posted on Facebook on Sunday. Bruno Marchant took to his pen to say the next meeting between Prime Ministers Justin Trudeau and François Legault “must happen.”[ne] In Quebec, provided by law.
The mayor criticizes the recent holding of two proceedings that should have taken place in Quebec, but instead one took place in Montreal and the other in Languedoc. He's talking about the meeting between Prime Ministers Trudeau and Legault on Friday and the finance minister's press conference the day before the provincial budget is tabled.

Our national capital should be a compulsion, not a hindrance. The next official meetings with heads of state and the government will apparently be held in Quebec.
