“Yes, that would be possible. It would obviously be a big financial challenge given the level of compensation we are currently receiving, but I think Quebec would be viable,” he agreed, going through Gaspésie.

During the first debate, PQ member Paul St-Pierre Plamondon accused the CAQ leader of being the most federalist of the leaders currently running for Quebec premiership.
François Legault does not understand the goal of the leader of the Parti Québécois. “I have a hard time understanding what he means.”
