Discontent at CAQ: Deputy Isabelle Poulet Considers Leaving the Party
Isabelle Poulet, the Member of the National Assembly for Laporte, is contemplating leaving the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) party. She is scheduled to meet with Premier François Legault this afternoon to discuss her political future.
Recently, Poulet had planned a press conference at the National Assembly but ultimately canceled it. This decision indicates her ongoing uncertainty within the party, fueled by discontent over the CAQ’s controversial physician compensation reform. Many consider this issue to be the final straw for Poulet, who represents the South Shore area of Montreal.
Political Discontent and Future Prospects
Isabelle Poulet has been vocal about her dissatisfaction with CAQ for quite some time. Her discontent reflects a broader concern regarding party policies and internal dynamics. The Laporte constituency, historically a stronghold for the opposition, has influenced her considerations significantly.
Reports suggest that she approached the Quebec Liberal Party as early as late August, signaling her interest in exploring other political affiliations. The upcoming hours and days are pivotal for Poulet as she weighs her options and decides on her future.
