CAQ Leader Christine Fréchette expresses regret as Quebec election campaign ends

Montreal — Coalition Avenir Québec leader Christine Fréchette expressed regret on Monday as the provincial election campaign concluded. During a campaign stop in Shawinigan, Fréchette admitted she should have focused more on the potential ramifications of a sovereignty referendum proposed by Parti Québécois leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon.

Fréchette warned that Plamondon's plans could lead to economic uncertainty, should the PQ secure a government position following the upcoming election. She reiterated her intent to remain as party leader regardless of the election results.

Fréchette explained that her platform aimed to lower the cost of living, enhance public services and safeguard Quebec's economy and identity. She was set to spend the final hours of her campaign door-to-door in central Quebec's Trois-Rivières riding, where she hopes to secure a legislative seat.
