CAQ Minister François Bonnardel is expected Thursday afternoon at the Gallant Commission, which is investigating the failed digital transformation of the Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ).
Minister of Transport from 2018 to 2022, Bonnardel has been summoned to testify on the SAAQclic fiasco.
His testimony follows the appearance this week of political staffers who formed his staff when he was minister. Bonnardel is now the Minister of Public Security.

On Monday, former Liberal Ministers of Transport, Laurent Lessard and André Fortin, also gave their version of events to the public inquiry commission.

The current minister of the portfolio, Geneviève Guilbault, is also expected to be heard by the end of the week.
It should be noted that the SAAQ’s IT project, called CASA (Carrefour des services d’affaires), is expected to cost at least $1.1 billion, $500 million more than expected, according to the Auditor General of Quebec.
