Paul St-Pierre Plamondon indicated that he had written to the Lieutenant Governor asking her not to participate in the swearing-in ceremony of the new council of ministers. He reminded that his party intended to abolish the presence of the British monarchy in Quebec, both in democratic institutions and in civil society, and that the legitimacy of political decisions should, in his view, stem from the democratic will of the people of Quebec. He specified that the Secretary General of the Government of Quebec would have the ministers swear an oath to the people of Quebec. According to him, the Lieutenant Governor had confirmed that she would follow the ceremony on television from her office and would sign the documents as they were handed to her. He added that the ministers could start their work the next day. St-Pierre Plamondon also stated that the institutions of the Governor General and the Lieutenant Governors cost Canadian taxpayers 60 million dollars. He pledged to dedicate the amounts that Quebec could recover to needs related to homelessness. #Québec #Monarchie #Démocratie (translated)
