An argument that resembles that of his chief, Bruno Marchand, who refuses to take a stand as long as a project will not be more precise. When there is a project, we will react togetherhe adds.

Although she described it asally In the fight against the third link and for air quality, Jackie Smith now believes that the former president of the neighborhood council makes a Vial on his convictions By presenting themselves with strong and proud Quebec.

She had also confirmed that she herself approached her in 2021 so that he was her running mate. What he had refused.

Parity

Québec strong and proud also presented two other candidates in two other districts, including Éric Courtmanche Baril in Robert-Giffard. This is a second attempt for the businessman with the team of the mayor who had first tried to be elected in 2021 in the district of Fall-Montmorency-Seigneurial.

The political party also appointed Emma Amehoum, a nurse, in an attempt to resume the siege of Steeve Verret, in the district of Lac-Saint-Charles-Saint-Émile. The elected official announced his retirement from political life after 20 years as a municipal councilor.

Until now, the mayor’s team has 11 candidates in the 21 districts. Eight municipal councilors already in post have confirmed that they would be racing. For the other members, the mayor hopes to present them by summer. We will make others soonhe promises.

As in 2021, a strong and proud Quebec aims for parity, which lengthens the process. Just the exercise of parity assumes that we cannot confirm certain candidates, otherwise we will not happen to our goalexplains Bruno Marchand.

We work to win all the districts. There is not a district currently for which we say we abandon.

The mayor knows what the battle promises to be more full in the suburbs. The latest results of the federal election confirm that voters take a clear look at the challenges of the region.

He acknowledges that his team will have to demonstrate that this first mandate has enabled the people of the suburbs to make earnings, especially mobility with services like Flexibus. Congestion is the suburbs that get it. It’s time that it changesinsists the head of QFF.

Bruno Marchand says that none of his candidates will play a post as a post in this election. On vise les 21 districts.

An arrow in Hamad

The mayor took advantage of the event to launch a point to the candidate for the town hall of Leadership Québec. Sam Hamad hammers that his proposal to improve the fluidity of transport in the city does not go through the tram, but by another project which he will present later.

The former liberal minister claims that the federal money promised for the tramway will be able to be used to finance his project which he promises to launch quickly. For Bruno Marchand, this is magical thought.

The mayor argues that preparing a project requires at least two years of work and a few additional months to obtain funding. It is not realistic to think that a new project, in four years, perhaps at the same time designed, thought, built, be discussed with governments and be funded. The experience testifies that it cannot be donehe says.
