Marois won't share Plan B in case of PQ minority gov't

Posted By: Sarah Deshaies · 8/26/2012 11:16:00 AM

If Pauline Marois has a plan B in case she'll be leading a minority government after Sept. 4, she's not sharing details.

Saturday's Leger Marketing poll numbers revealed a PQ minority government, giving the party 33 per cent support with the CAQ five points back, Liberals right behind the CAQ.

Speaking Sunday morning in the Liberal-held Montreal riding of Saint-Henri Sainte-Anne, Marois said she's focusing on achieving a PQ majority government, and nothing else.

"It's a hypothetical question, and I'm working towards forming a majority government," the leader explained.

CAQ leader Francois Legault has said he won't work with the Liberals or the PQ in case in case of a minority cabinet. 

"Well, he's saying he won't work with us, so any kind of agreement is off to a bad start," chuckled Marois.

The PQ leader made the comments during an annoucement for social spending.

She is promising an extra $35 million over five years for AccèsLogis family housing, as well as extending free legal aid to people with minimum wage. Another promise will regulate work placement agencies in order to better support temporary workers.

    I am glad to know that Mme. Marois will be filling the coffers for Accès Logis family housing, as well as extending free legal aid to people with minimum wage jobs. Another promise will regulate work placement agencies in order to better support temporary workers. I am sure the line ups for these services will be long and painful if the partie Quebecois somehow wins this election. The majority will need these services desperately as companies fly out of Quebec not wanting to face the scourge of unilingualism and citizen unrest and unbending rules that it has taken Quebec over 30 years to rebuild our province without the threat of referendums and one language garbage. Does Mme. Marois not know the rest of Canada and our other essential trade partners are, besides laughing at the insanity of it all, ready to cut us off completely with our unending garbage and the beating of that poor dead horse, are past ready to leave us in the dust? I guess she does not, because only the "country" of Quebec exists in her mind, and horror of horrors, the rest of the world does business in English? Today, French, English, Mandarin and Spanish are the least number of languages we should all strive to learn and use, for a chance at a successful economy. Our world, through technology is shrinking and communication is key. Wakey, wakey, Mme. Marois for god's sake!!
