Carney Says Canada at ‘Crucial Time’ in Conversation with Quebec Premier-Designate
Carney said Ottawa will work with Quebec on jobs, housing and infrastructure as the PQ won 59 seats, falling short of a majority.
- On Tuesday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke with Quebec Premier-designate Paul St-Pierre Plamondon after the Parti won 59 seats in Monday's provincial election, five short of the 64-seat majority in the 127-member National Assembly.
- The Coalition Avenir lost power after eight years without winning a single seat, while St-Pierre Plamondon pledged to delay his proposed independence referendum until after President Donald Trump leaves office.
- Describing the current situation as a "crucial time," Carney urged the province to focus on affordable housing, infrastructure, and support for workers affected by President Donald Trump's tariffs.
- Industry Minister Joly and Cabinet minister Lightbound emphasized "cooperative federalism," with Lightbound clarifying that Monday's election results should not be interpreted as a public mandate for separation from Canada.
- This result coincides with an upcoming October 19 vote in Alberta regarding potential separation, even as McGill University professor Daniel notes support for Quebec independence remains at about 30%.
