He finished third with 19.44% of the votes. The former CAQ candidate, Yvan Blanchard, had obtained 6.19% of the votes in 2014. “I did a lot of leg work,” said Mr. LeBoutillier. He thinks that “the other parties have been able to make Gaspesians believe that we are against the regions. My two Achilles heels, with four arrows stuck in them, were wind energy and the cement plant,” he adds. Those two important files for the Gaspé Coast have been widely criticized by the CAQ over the last years. “If the CAQ is in power, it’s because of the re- gions,” believes Mr. LeBoutillier, who emphasizes that only a few CAQ candidates were elected on Montreal island. “Maybe Gaspe- Photo: G.

  • CTM2007 Quebec Politics Release
    Quebec Politics in the time of Public Opinion Research Release Date: July 29, 2020 COVID-19: July 2020 update Field Dates: July 14, 2020 to July 20, 2020 STRICTLY PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL 2 Quebec Politics in the time of COVID-19 The COVID-19 outbreak has set off a series of changes in the Canadian political landscape. Since June, attitudes in Quebec are largely holding steady. This includes favourability of Legault and his wide lead over other party leaders as the best option for Premier of Quebec. When it comes to leadership attributes, Legault ranks as the best on all positive attributes such as ‘strong leadership’, ‘competent’, and ‘represents positive change’. Legault and the CAQ now have an 8-point lead over the Liberals when it comes to vote. Today, INNOVATIVE is releasing results from our July 2020 Canada This Month survey. This online survey was in field from July 14th to July 20th with a weighted sample size of 500 Quebec residents. Detailed methodology is provided in the appendix. This report covers key results on how those from Quebec are rating their government’s handling of the COVID-19 outbreak and the impacts that is having on more general government approval and provincial vote choice. 3 Government Approval Quebecers are steady on the share who say they approve of the gov’ts handling of COVID-19, with a large majority continuing to approve. General satisfaction with the government remains high and steady since last month. Quebec Mood: 7-in-10 (69%) are satisfied with the performance of the 4 QC government while only

In addition, the Legislature adopted the Miscellaneous Statutes (Signed Statements) Amendment Act, 2016 which replaces the need for sworn statements with a simple, signed statement where appropriate. This legislation intends to reduce costs, delays and inconvenience for British Columbians by simplifying the law and making it easier to comply with legal requirements.

(AQCPE) As part of the larger fight against the Couillard government's austerity agenda, daycare workers, administrators, parents and the population in general have taken a stand against the $120 million in cuts announced to Quebec's subsidized daycare program. Recent actions to defend accessible public childcare include the February 7 Quebec-wide rally, as well as a February 4 rally in front of the National Assembly in the lead-up to the Liberal pre-session caucus. The mass mobilization campaign also includes videos, a petition, visibility campaigns at each early childhood education centre (CPE), and human chains surrounding daycares on the first of every month, in the spirit of the monthly human chains staged in defence of public education since May 2015. The Quebec Association of Early Childhood Centres (AQCPE), and the organization Toujours fous de nos enfants (Forever Crazy About Our Kids) wrote on their Facebook pages in preparation for the February 7 action: "The CPE network has already given a lot -- more than $400 million since 2006.
