Opinion: Quebec Liberals are committed to the protection of minorities – Montreal Gazette

The past nine months have been exhausting and difficult for all of us. While we are facing unprecedented health, social and economic challenges, the pandemic has in many ways brought out the best in Quebecers. Together, we have shown resilience and courage, and the recent start of the vaccination program is a reason for optimism.

During the fall session my first one as leader of the Quebec Liberal Party we challenged the Legault government on its handling of the pandemic. At the same time, we offered concrete proposals for protecting essential workers, students and seniors, expanding access to mental health services, supporting small businesses, and rebuilding a green economy.

My riding of St-HenriSte-Anne is one of the most diverse and impoverished in Montreal and I have worked hard to ensure the needs of my constituents, and those of all Quebecers, are addressed during this crisis. This goes to the heart of my values and my longstanding commitment for inclusion and the defence of the rights of women, immigrants, minorities and marginalized groups.
