Positive relationship with Ottawa should blossom under Quebec Libs, says Trudeau
OTTAWA – Justin Trudeau says he’s looking forward to seeing Quebec rebuild its relationship with Ottawa now that the province has a majority Liberal government.
The federal Liberal leader says the Quebec election results make him more determined to remain focused on bread-and-butter issues, rather than divisive politics.
Quebecers sent a strong message after what was a bitter election campaign, giving Liberal leader Philippe Couillard a massive majority.
Couillard is considered to be one of the most federalist leaders Quebec has seen in years.
The Liberals won 70 of the legislature’s 125 seats, compared with 30 for the Parti Quebecois.
The PQ will also be looking for a leader after Pauline Marois announced she would quit after losing both the premier’s job and her own riding.
