I'm betting he's pretty unhappy right now.

I'm surprised with Garneau at transportation as well.
Garneau was very strategic IMO.

Part of his job will be liaising with people in Lac Megantic due to the ongoing issues related to the disaster there. Lisa Raitt did a respectable job there on behalf of the Conservatives, enough to sway voters there towards the CPC. All that despite not even being bilingual. The Liberals probably see adding a prominent Quebecor and Francophone in that role as a way to build some inroads in that part of Quebec.
