“Mr. Legault’s Betrayal”: Eric Duheim wants to take advantage of the discontent of the Cauquists

Eric Duhaime on Saturday sent a letter to elected CAQ members of Greater Quebec City, hoping to get at least one of them to join the Conservative Party of Quebec (PCQ), taking advantage of the failure of the 3rd annexation plan.

“Faced with Mr. Legault’s betrayal, you now have only two solutions: toe the party line or honor the trust of your voters,” the party leader wrote in a letter to 14 elected officials from the region. Capital-National and Sautier-Appalaches.

Ministers Éric Caire and Geneviève Guilbault were the only ones who did not receive this shipment.

The PCQ explained the exclusion of the Minister of Digital and Cyber ​​Security, but a staunch defender of the 3rd Amendment, with a simple statement. “We don’t want someone like Eric Geir on our team,” Cedric Lapointe, Eric Duheim’s press liaison, said in a message to QMI.

For his part, the Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility was excluded because he is piloting the new scheme, which is designed only for public transport.

“If you want to stand up, I invite you to contact me, talk to me, get to know us better and see if our compatibility can go beyond the 3rd Motorway link”, Mr. Duheim began. Elected officials.

The latter hopes that he will finally be able to approach the National Assembly after failing to elect a Deputy Minister during the last provincial elections.

“Let’s evaluate together if there is a way to reduce the current democratic decay, to make the National Assembly more representative of the Quebec reality and more respectful of the wishes of the citizens, especially in our region,” said the head of the PCQ.

Note that Annexure 3 was part of CAQ’s election promises during the last provincial elections. The plan’s failure shook the confidence of the region’s voters, who gave the Legault government a strong mandate to implement the plan.

“Everybody understands that the reasons given to justify this spectacular collapse do not hold water,” the former radio host denounced.

If Eric Duheim succeeds in appointing the grunt-chosen Gekvist, he can hold press conferences inside the National Assembly, benefit from an office in this institution, and in addition participate in camera sessions.

These are the perks former MP Claire Samson received when she joined the Conservatives.
