For the first time since 1867, there is not a single MNA
from the governing party elected in the Quebec City region.
So we're going to have a coffee with three opposition MNAs
in their ridings to discuss how that is changing their role.
That's
good
coffee
art.
I cannot do that at all.
I cannot do that either.
There are no MNAs, not even one, in the Quebec City region.
This is the first time in Quebec's history
that the Capitale Nationale won't have an MNA in government.
Do you feel the pressure?
Well, I do feel some kind of pressure, yes.
But we need to make sure that, like,
it can be a great opportunity for us.
Thank you very much!
A responsibility for us to represent well those persons.
Do you feel pressure?
No, I don't feel pressure.
I think the one who feels pressure is the premier himself.
So if we work well as opposition,
we can have great things for Quebec City
and I think that's important for us to remember that.
How do you see this to get along with the other opposition parties?
For example, Quebec Solidaire.
I think that we will have to have
a lot more discussion and a lot more debates
to make sure that we will represent people.
Well, I will try. I will try. I will try.
Yeah, clearly. I will try to talk with them.
People in Quebec City, the majority elected the Conservatives,
they are sending a message that they don't want to have the tramway.
You think so?
I think so and I see it
and I hear it in the in the field in the ground every day.
Eric Duhem promised during the election campaign
that he would stop the tramway project.
He will have me on his way. This project is important for Québec.
In terms of their priorities,
Héloïse Coulombe says she hears a lot
from her constituents about the cost of living.
Etienne Gramont wants to tackle homelessness with the upcoming summit.
Julie White will focus on immigration
as the Parti Québécois government will soon present its annual plan.
First of all, I think it's important that the PQ listens.
They came into the electoral campaign with a very,
very firm opinion about immigration.
It's not a...
One-person job. Like when you say you need a village to raise a child,
you need a village to be an MNA.
You need to have people around you to help you win,
but also help you with everything else.
It's a new reality for me being in, you know,
with the government, with the minority
government. I try to practice a lot to be a better chess player.
Thank you very much.
