Pauline Marois has used the first Quebec election debate to repeatedly attack Prime Minister Stephen Harper, in a hint of federal-provincial battles that might follow the Sept. 4 vote.
From her opening remarks, and throughout the debate Sunday night, the Parti Quebecois Leader highlighted her strategy of confrontation with the Harper Tories and claimed she would hold a sovereignty referendum “tomorrow morning,” if she felt she could.
“I will never let Stephen Harper choose for us,” Marois said Sunday, in a reminder of spats with the Tories over employment insurance, justice policy and transfer payments.
The PQ has said that if it’s elected it will seek a transfer of powers from Ottawa in areas like employment insurance and immigration policy. The party says it will use each refusal from the Tories to build its case that Quebec doesn’t belong in Canada.
