Bulletins of the week at the National Assembly: the horror stories of the DPJ, the nightmare of Lionel Carmant

Here are the elected officials or political party leaders who stood out for the right or wrong reasons over the past week.

Lionel Carmant, CAQ

Very difficult week with the multiplication of scandals in the DPJ centers. It is absolutely revolting to see the injustices that have taken place. He dismissed the national director he had appointed, while admitting to having slowed down in his presence at the DPJ management table.

Guillaume Cliche-Rivard, QS

It is possible to show class, even while being an adversary in the political jungle. The elected official from QS took the trouble to personally call Lionel Carmant, out of respect for the individual, to warn him and explain to him why he was going to demand his resignation publicly on Thursday.

Marc Tanguay, Monsef Derraji, PLQ

Sudden turnaround for the Liberals. On September 26, they voted in favor of a motion supporting a ban on the sale of new gasoline vehicles from 2035. After the publication of a survey on Wednesday, Derraji nevertheless announced that the objective was “ unrealistic” and he argued that “it’s going too fast.”

Mathieu Lacombe, CAQ

It has gone somewhat under the radar, but the bill creating the National Museum of History of Quebec was adopted unanimously recently. In addition, ex-mayor Maxime Pedneaud-Jobin, who becomes its first boss, constitutes a good catch for the Minister of Culture, who presented him as “a great nationalist”.

The tannants at the Salon rouge!

No, it’s not about the late Pierre Marcotte and Shirley Théroux. But ministers Benoit Charette and Caroline Proulx made fun of the opposition deputies facing them on the benches. “The two ministers in particular are recalcitrant, they are stubborn,” denounced, insulted, the supportive Alexandre Leduc.

Whether we accuse, or we apologize

Among those present at the ceremony for the unveiling of Jacques Chagnon’s portrait on Thursday, former MP Guy Ouellette. He had liked to have been defended by the President of the National Assembly, after having been illegally arrested as part of a revanchist investigation into media leaks from UPAC.
