Marois says she’s proud of her first year in power
QUEBEC – Quebec Premier Pauline Marois says she is proud of her first 12 months in power even though she admits it’s been a difficult year.
Today is the one-year anniversary of the Parti Quebecois’ election victory which saw the sovereigntist party return to power with a minority government.
Marois says she is proud of what she calls her government’s accomplishments in defending the French language, protecting the elderly and restoring social peace after last year’s student protests.
The premier made the comments before heading into a cabinet meeting in Quebec City.
While Marois did not want to discuss Quebec’s fragile economic situation, her finance minister did.
Nicolas Marceau said government revenues this year are currently below projected levels because of weaker than expected consumer spending.
