Paul Saint-Pierre Plamondon, the leader of the Parti Québécois and the newly elected Premier of Quebec, has announced his intention to introduce legislation freezing the salaries of Members of the National Assembly and ministers, including his own. This measure will also extend to the salaries of senior officials in state-owned companies, remaining in effect until Quebec’s budget is balanced. Plamondon simultaneously affirmed his refusal to swear allegiance to King Charles III upon entering office. This decision marks a firm stance against the monarchy within the province of Quebec. The announcement signals a commitment to fiscal responsibility and Quebec nationalism under Plamondon’s leadership. The move is expected to generate debate regarding traditions and provincial autonomy within Canada. This news was first reported by Hespress, a Moroccan electronic newspaper.
