Paul St-Pierre Plamondon wrote that he remembered the people who made the ultimate sacrifice to defend Quebec and the values of peace, freedom, and democracy. He recalled that Quebecers had distinguished themselves in conflicts since the early 20th century, notably mentioning Léo Major, the soldiers of the Royal 22nd Regiment, and those of the Chaudière Regiment, as well as less-known fighters who fell into anonymity. He believed that their efforts and sacrifices all counted in the collective defense of democracy and freedom. He also thanked, on behalf of the Quebec nation, the veterans and those who dedicated their lives to public service by wearing the uniform. He called to remember those who died or dedicated their lives to defending the population, those who returned with physical or psychological injuries, those who served in conflict zones, and their families. #Mémoire #Héros #Liberté (translated)

Paul St-Pierre Plamondon congratulated the winners, the nominees, and the artists at the 48th ADISQ gala. He thanked them for showcasing Quebec culture in French throughout the year and wrote that Quebec song is at the heart of collective identity, bringing the population together and allowing them to celebrate who they are. He added that, in keeping with tradition, the Minister of Culture, Pascal Bérubé, was present to represent the government. #ADISQ #CultureQuébécoise #ChansonQuébécoise (translated)

Paul St-Pierre Plamondon stated that his government promised during the electoral campaign to review its economic approach and to end unlimited subsidies in order to finance a historic decrease in taxes for Quebec SMEs. He presented the decision regarding Nemaska Lithium as an example of this shift in direction. He said he had criticized projects such as Northvolt and Nemaska Lithium in recent years, the latter having, according to him, absorbed 1.2 billion in public funds over ten years for a risky battery manufacturing project. The Minister of Economic Development, Innovation and Energy, Stéphane Paquet, had announced that the government would no longer provide money for the project, he indicated. Plamondon added that Paquet's role would now be to create a favorable environment for businesses, innovation, and the creativity of Quebec entrepreneurs, rather than choosing which projects to support. #Économie #Innovation #PME (translated)

Paul St-Pierre Plamondon said he took note of Mark Carney's offer to give him a seat at the VIP table as an observer, without the right to speak or a mandate to negotiate on behalf of Quebec. He described this proposal as a request made to Quebec to submit and renounce its role in defending the economic and political interests of Quebeckers, adding that he would refuse such a situation if he were prime minister. He condemned what he described as a strategy aimed at marginalizing Quebec internationally and subordinating its competencies to the decisions of the federal government. According to him, all party leaders in the National Assembly had stated the day before that they expected to speak and participate fully in a summit held in Quebec. He also said that the leader of the official opposition in Ottawa and that of the Bloc Québécois supported his request. Plamondon added that he had written to representatives of the European Union to remind them that agreements between Europe and Quebec had to go through the Quebec government, especially if a summit was held on its territory. He also mentioned the refusal to allow him to speak to welcome guests. He proposed a bilateral discussion and announced that he would send Quebec's chief diplomat, Pascal Paradis, to initiate the exchanges. #Québec #Politique #International (translated)

Paul St-Pierre Plamondon wrote that the time change on Saturday would probably be the last in Quebec. He indicated that the Parti Québécois had questioned this practice several times and claimed that studies deemed it harmful to health and difficult for children to cope with. He announced that consultations with specialists would begin in the coming months, as part of a short parliamentary committee, to assess the effects of the time change and determine whether it would be preferable to keep daylight saving time or standard time. He said that this year would likely be the last in which families would have to deal with the adaptation difficulties of children. #ChangementDheure #Québec #Santé (translated)

Paul St-Pierre Plamondon indicated that he met with Ruba Ghazal and Sol Zanetti from Québec solidaire after seeing Charles Milliard. He described the exchange as constructive and said they agreed to collaborate in the coming years on topics where their positions converged. He stated that he presented the intention of the Quebec government to act on the crises of homelessness and housing. According to him, the participants also identified convergences regarding general states on education, health prevention, and the cost of living. He added that the spokespersons of Québec solidaire had mentioned common priorities, including the independence of Quebec, electoral reform, relations with First Nations and Inuit, as well as the fight against climate change. #Québec #Solidarité #Politique (translated)

Paul St-Pierre Plamondon argued that the federal government had engaged in negotiations with the European Union directly affecting Quebec without consulting or giving it a place at the table. He said this approach contrasted with previous negotiations on the free trade area with the EU and reminded that Quebec had, in his view, played a pioneering role in supporting NAFTA. The leader of the Parti Québécois also reproached the federal government for wanting to impose economic decisions falling under Quebec’s jurisdiction, breaking with the Gérin-Lajoie doctrine. He condemned the fact that the Quebec premier was unable to speak at an event held in Quebec, and deemed insufficient the opportunity that may have been granted to him to influence Quebec interests by allowing cocktail shrimp service at a reception. Plamondon believed that this situation represented a lack of respect and a setback for Quebec's autonomy. He described the vision of Canada defended by Mark Carney as centralizing, even unitarian, and claimed it reduced the provinces to a role of observers in discussions affecting their interests and responsibilities. He recalled that Pierre Falardeau denounced, in "Le Temps des bouffons", the subordinate place of Quebecers in relation to financial elites, and mentioned the struggle for Quebec to decide its own development, notably under Jean Lesage, René Lévesque, Jacques Parizeau, and Bernard Landry. He concluded that Quebec must participate in decisions that defended its interests. #Québec #Autonomie #Démocratie (translated)

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)

Paul St-Pierre Plamondon recalled that four years ago, when the Parti Québécois had only three elected members at the swearing-in ceremony, he had told his friend Pascal Bérubé that one day the lily would bloom again. He indicated that 59 party members had now taken an oath to the Constitution of Quebec. He stated that the elected officials would serve all Quebecers, whether they voted for the Parti Québécois or for another party, and that they would focus on their interests, needs, and priorities rather than on the next election. He acknowledged that a government could make mistakes while promising to demonstrate authenticity and transparency. Plamondon said he wanted to gradually reduce the cost of living, regain control of public finances by addressing waste and bureaucracy, and freeze the salaries of elected officials and leaders of state-owned enterprises until a return to budgetary balance. He also promised to refocus the state on healthcare, education, the protection of the population, and culture, as well as to halve homelessness in Quebec. He presented these measures as a way to restore trust in the state and government before resuming the debate on Quebec's national future. He defended the idea that Quebec should adopt all its laws, negotiate on its behalf with its international partners, and manage its entire budget independently, and then concluded with a call for freedom and a free Quebec. #Québec #Politique #PartiQuébécois (translated)

Paul St-Pierre Plamondon wrote that he had just learned with sadness of the passing of Jean-Luc Mongrain and expressed his condolences to his family and friends. He indicated that he had exchanged with him last May on Rémi Villemure's show, where he was able to convey his respect to him. Plamondon described Mongrain as a unique character, possessing a vast general knowledge and great intelligence. He emphasized his indignation on screen, which he believed resonated with the listeners and was often accompanied by humor. He also expressed his gratitude for Mongrain's contribution to Quebec culture and the media landscape. #JeanLucMongrain #Condoléances #CultureQuébécoise (translated)

The leader of the Parti Québécois, Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, stated that he would not call for another independence referendum until Trump leaves the White House, citing the political uncertainty and economic damages caused by American tariffs. #Québec #szeparatizmus #függetlenség (translated)

"This unpredictability of the U.S. Administration will harm our process, as well as the quality of the debate about our future as a nation." St-Pierre Plamondon has explained that he will wait until the president of the United States, Donald Trump, leaves the White House in January 2029 to hold the referendum, which will be the third after those held in 1980 and 1995, when the PQ was also in power. #Quebec #PartidoQuebequés #Independencia (translated)

However, its leader and likely governor, Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, has clarified that he will not call for it before the end of Donald Trump's presidential term in the United States, because he believes that the conditions are not right now, with Trump's threats and the ongoing trade conflict with the United States. #Quebec #Indipendenza #PartiQuébécois (translated)
