Premier François Legault is set to unveil his highly anticipated cabinet shake-up this Wednesday afternoon.
Since the start of the summer, Legault has been hinting at a reshuffle to inject fresh energy into his government.
This move comes as the CAQ government faces growing discontent from Quebecers, just over a year before the upcoming general election.
Four key cabinet positions are opening up, with François Bonnardel (Public Security), Andrée Laforest (Municipal Affairs), Suzanne Roy (Family), and André Lamontagne (Agriculture, Fisheries and Food) stepping down.
Reports suggest that the current Minister of Transport, Geneviève Guilbault, will likely take over the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, a role she has been eyeing.
Despite not running for re-election in 2026, Health Minister Christian Dubé is expected to maintain his current position.
The Legault administration has faced challenges in recent months, including the SAAQclic controversy and the setback with the Northvolt project in Montérégie.
In preparation for the new cabinet members, the start of the National Assembly session has been postponed by two weeks, now commencing on Sept. 30.
