The word “improvisation” was on everyone’s lips (or almost), Tuesday, at the national Assembly… especially on those of the leader of the Coalition avenir Québec…

Attacking the government on the subject of the law on religious neutrality, François Legault, has even been called the “confusion” of the minister of Justice, Stéphanie Vallée, on the “services face to face, in the bus,” moments “worthy of the national improvisation league”…

Mr. Legault has also criticized the slowness of the government to “give birth” to his bill, employing once more the term “improvisation”.

“It took 10 years for the liberal government will eventually give birth to the project of law n° 62 of the law on services with their faces uncovered, that will surely set a precedent for improvisation”, he started before adding “Quebecers have had enough of the improvisation of the liberal party. When this is not the monorail Sunday morning, it is a law pin, hay-on services face to face.”

“Get in the water with the burkini”

The prime minister Philippe Couillard did not expect to serve as a sharp retort to François Legault, while using a clever play of words…

“We are convinced, we, in relation to the proposals that are the CAQ and the PQ, we are convinced that we, that our legislative proposal complies with the charters. Is it that he is able to say that its proposals comply with the charters? This would be interesting. Then, when we went to get wet with the burkini, and company, in general, one should not give too many lessons to the other on the observance of the charters of rights”, he replied.

“Kessé”?

Mp pq Alain Therrien, in a fury, lifted the tone of the question period from the minister of Economy, Dominique Anglade, and so well that it is wrong in its soaring verbal, which has (almost) lost our latin…

“Call me”!

The minister Anglade, stung to the quick, has called on his opponent pq to give him a call, to discuss “plans to build the Québec”, underlining the fact that it is “quite nice”!

The meaning of “timing”

While he defended his leader, Jean-François Lisée, during a media scrum, the member pq Pascal Bérubé has been interrupted just at the right time, by the barking of Pepper, the dog of the member Claire Samson…

Ms. Samson, who suffers from epilepsy has obtained the exceptional permission to be accompanied by his poodle royal to the national Assembly, because it has the faculties to detect his seizures several hours before they occur.

A euphemism?

The president of the national Assembly had to intervene with the member pq’s Nicolas Marceau to the use of”euphemisms”.

“It is true that the government is cynical to the end, completely and totally. There is not an ounce, an ounce of honesty in what I just heard”, he launched into the room, causing several reactions among parliamentarians.

The president of the national Assembly, Jacques Chagnon

“Please! Please, let me handle this easily. Mr. the member for Rousseau, you’ll make attention in your euphemisms”, spoke Mr. Chagnon.

And we, we strike back at Mr. Chagnon… In this case, Mr. Chagnon, it was a hyperbole!

Recognize his error

The vice-president of the national Assembly, François Gendron, has also stated that a motion was “adopted”, wrongly, as the leader of the opposition, Pascal Bérubé, asked for a nominal vote. It is, however, ravisé and admitted his error.

A fault confessed is half forgiven!
