The debate surrounding Bill 89 (law aimed at considering the needs of the population in the event of a strike or lockout) is igniting. The tension between the Caquist and Quebec Solidarity Government (QS) is particularly lively. And the invectives are fuse.
The tone went up a notch, Thursday before the Red Show, during an exchange between François Legault and the head of the second opposition group, Ruba Ghazal, at the end of which the president of the National Assembly Nathalie Roy, had to ask the Prime minister many times before he made.
Shame in Quebec Solidaire! Total shame!
He launched instead of his opposite-an expression banned from the parliamentary lexicon, but whose use by the Liberal Party of Quebec (PLQ), earlier in the morning, had been tolerated by the presidency.
Prime Minister Legault is big on the heart. He criticizes QS to have refused to support a motion presented Tuesday to denounce a demonstration held on Sunday in front of the personal residence of the Minister of Labor, Jean Boulet, in Trois-Rivières.
Mr. Legault, however, refused to withdraw his remarks, rising several times to replace them with the adjectives pathetic
, embarrassing
et scandalous
. These are extremists
he also launched, before finally withdrawing his non-parliamentary remarks.
A full -bodied exchange between François Legault and Ruba Ghazal
Once the period of the questions completed, the acting male spokesperson for QSGuillaume Cliche-Rivard, accused the Prime Minister of trying to change the narrative
stressing that the questions asked by Ruba Ghazal Thursday carried first and foremost on the dilapidation of the Maisonneuve-Rosemont hospital.
He also argued that the motion offered Tuesday by the CAQwith the support of Plq And independent deputies Marie-Claude Nichols and Youri Chassin, did not precisely reflect the position of his party.
I do not support at all and I denounce the fact that demonstrators showed up at the minister’s personal house, he said. However, this has nothing to do with a Union tactic. The unions have nothing to do with it. These are individuals, Workers who made this decision.
We have provided very clear amendments to the CAQ So that we all denounce together, jointly, these actions, continued Mr. Cliche-Rivard. But the unions, the union centers had absolutely nothing to do with that. There CAQ knows it very well. They refused the amendments. So they are responsible.
Mainly speaking, they try to pin a story that does not exist to change the narrative.
-
Tuesday’s motion offered in particular that the National Assembly firmly condemns the demonstrations held before the personal residence of the Minister of Labor
et that it denounces all intimidation towards elected officials as well as members of their families
.
The text also evoked the controversial remarks of the presidency of the FTQMagalie Picard, who, this winter, had called on the members of the union centers to “track down” the Minister of Labor and the Prime Minister – an expression which had “shaken” Jean Boulet and which the main interested party had tried to minimize.
A disturbing text
Bill 89 aims to limit the duration of strikes and lockouts. The unions oppose it strongly, while QS suspects the CAQ To want to take revenge on the public sector, which has multiplied debraying during the most recent cycle of negotiation with the government.
Since its deposit, union members have multiplied the shine. Minister Chantal Rouleau’s county office was notably vandalized on Thursday.
My Pointe-aux-Trembles employees were violently intimidated this morning by a group of masked and threatening demonstrators who ransacked my district office, in addition to flying several of our effects
she said on network X, supporting photos in early afternoon.
These tactics of “big arms” must stop immediately.
Syndicated also caused the cancellation of a conference dinner from the Metropolitan Montreal Chamber of Commerce at which Jean Boulet was to take sides on March 14. And more than a hundred of them entered the building housing the Ministry of Labor on April 23 in Quebec, forcing the police to intervene.
The demonstration last Sunday, in Trois-Rivières, is however the drop that made the vase overflow for Mr. Boulet, who estimated on X on Monday that this action was unacceptable
respect for privacy being A fundamental right
just like freedom of expression.
François Legault and Jean Boulet were to meet the chiefs of the four Union Centrals in Quebec on Thursday at 1 p.m. Thursday (CSD, CSN, CSQ, FTQ) as part of the International Day of Workers. It was then planned for these to be addressed to the press.
More details will follow.
