Jean Charest confirms he met with Prime minister Harper recently in Montreal.

The premier, though, refused to reveal what the discussion was about.

It's been reported the PM met with former PM Brian Mulroney about forging a better relationshiop wtih Quebec, that Harper also met with the premier.

Quebec had had its issues with Ottawa, including the province's recent effort to save the now-doomed long gun registry.

It seems the federal government is concerned about the Parti Quebecois power.

Harper is in Quebec today for St Jean Baptiste festivities.
