Without meaning to, François Legault has proven the need for sovereignty, according to Parti Québécois (PQ) leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon.
At a press conference at the National Assembly on Friday, St-Pierre Plamondon discussed Legault’s resignation. His years at the head of the government have demonstrated the impossibility of making significant gains within Canada, according to him.
The 21 requests that the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) government made to the federal government have been almost entirely ignored, argues the PQ leader.

St-Pierre Plamondon concludes that Legault’s legacy is to have demonstrated that “there is no third way” and that the debate on Quebec’s future must be settled once and for all.
“That will be François Legault’s legacy,” he said.
St-Pierre Plamondon stated that Legault’s departure marked the beginning of a new political era. If the PQ wins power in the upcoming elections, scheduled for this fall, it promises to promote rigor and a job well done.
In fact, the PQ leader reiterated on Friday that he wanted early elections, as soon as this spring, saying that he anticipated a parliamentary session dominated by partisanship.
