Jean Rousselle was unsurprised by a straw poll last week, which hinted that the Quebec Liberal Party (QLP) is starting to make strong inroads in Laval.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe see it on the ground when we go door-to-door,\u201d the Liberal MNA who is campaigning for reelection in Vimont riding told The Suburban.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cThe pure sovereignists don\u2019t appreciate what [Quebec Premier] Pauline Marois is doing, and are bailing out of the Parti qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois<\/i> and gravitating to the Qu\u00e9bec solidaire<\/i> party,\u201d he observed in an interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe remaining people who don\u2019t want a referendum are, to my great surprise, coming to us and telling us that they will vote Liberal this year,\u201d a pleased Rousselle reported. <\/p>\n

\u201cAll the people who have tended to vote for the Coalition pour l\u2019avenir du Qu\u00e9bec<\/i> (CAQ) are telling us that this year, CAQ boils down to just one man: Fran\u00e7ois Legault,\u201d he continued. \u201cThey\u2019re leaving and coming straight to us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re seeing the same trend throughout Quebec,\u201d Rousselle added. \u201cThe population is aging, which makes health care and a stable economy their priorities. They know we can\u2019t afford to keep going backward.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople on the street say they simply want a job,\u201d Rousselle continued. \u201cThey want dignity, not employment insurance. The QLP wants to create 250,000 jobs. When the P\u00e9quiste government killed the Plan nord, <\/i>it sent ripples around the world. Even people in India were talking about it. Now, this referendum talk is scaring even more jobs away to Ontario and elsewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSmall- and medium-size business create most of the jobs in the province,\u201d he noted. \u201cWithin the next five-to-ten years, most of the people who run Quebec\u2019s small- and medium-sized businesses plan to retire. We need to get ready to pass the baton smoothly to the next generation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rousselle wants to build schools in Vimont, if the QLP forms the next government.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Vimont-Autheuil population is growing strongly, lots of new families are setting up in the housing developments and we need new French and English schools here,\u201d he insisted.<\/p>\n

He also reiterated his call for the province to ensure that there are several ambulances on patrol in Laval at all times, whomever is elected April 7.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe results could be really catastrophic,\u201d he warned. \u201cAs a former Laval Police officer, I\u2019ve seen people die on the streets. It\u2019s essential that we be able to transport the acutely ill and injured to hospital in the minimum time possible.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
