Opposition party vows sovereign Quebec - Gayo Lues
I expect him to listen and consider what I will be proposing and I expect Harper to think about it in order to begin real discussions, real negotiations with us.”
Parti Quebecois leader Pauline Marois
In an exclusive interview with The Globe and Mail published on Friday, Parti Quebecois leader Pauline Marois said if she wins September 4 election for a new Quebec government, she will form a ‘sovereigntist government’ and will waste no time to confront the Conservative government in Ottawa.
She further highlighted that Ottawa’s recognition of the “Quebecois as a nation” will be meaningless if Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper doesn’t meet her demands for more provincial powers.
Marois said she will immediately request a one-on-one meeting with Harper if elected premier; and she will outline her demands to make it clear that her ultimate objective is to achieve sovereignty.
“I expect him to listen and consider what I will be proposing and I expect Harper to think about it in order to begin real discussions, real negotiations with us,” Parti Quebecois leader pointed out.
Marois said, “We are not yet sovereign, so he has the responsibility of being the Prime Minister of Quebeckers. He voted a motion recognizing Quebec as a nation. It must be backed by concrete measures.”
