Quebec Election: PQ Pushes for Return to Power

Quebec voters are heading to the polls in a provincial election featuring a race between the Parti Québécois and Coalition Avenir Québec, among other parties. The script identifies healthcare, the cost of living and Quebec’s place in Canada as key issues for voters. PQ Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon has pledged to launch a sovereignty referendum if U.S. President Donald Trump leaves office in 2029, while CAQ Leader Christine Fréchette is seeking to remain premier. CTV’s Austin Lee looks at the issues and what the election could mean for voters in the Ottawa-Gatineau region.
