The Coalition avenir Québec (CAQ) government has apologized to the National Assembly for a mistake made “in good faith”.
That is the CAQ has launched an extensive advertising campaign marking its record over the past four years due to the next election campaign.
It features in particular the adoption of Bill 96 in French, while it has not yet taken this step, lamented this Thursday in the Blue Room the head of the Quebec solidaire parliament, Christine Labrie.
To present this as a fait accompli is presumptuous and disrespectful to the legislative process, the deputy to the president of the National Assembly, François Paradis complained.
” This is a gross violation of respect for the institution. “
The government’s parliamentary leader, Simon Jolin-Barrette, rose to offer a formal apology.
It was an honest mistake, he said. This should not have happened, so we apologize to the National Assembly, Mr. President, and we will see that this situation will not be repeated in the future.
He added that the ads will be fixed.
