\u201cAll six Quebec Liberal Party candidates live in Laval,\u201d Chomedey MNA Guy Ouellette reminded reporters during a news conference last week to kick off the provincial election campaign. The remark took aim at high-profile candidates whom the Parti qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois<\/i> has parachuted in to run in Laval ridings.<\/p>\n

Together with Jean Rousselle (Vimont), Gilles Ouimet (Fabre) and Francine Charbonneau (Mille \u00celes), all four Laval Liberal MNAs will be running for re-election this year. <\/p>\n

They will be joined in this year\u2019s race by Liberal party president Saul Polo (Laval des Rapides) and financial analyst Jean Habel (Ste. Rose).<\/p>\n

Ouellette contrasted his party\u2019s stewardship of the Quebec economy with the Parti qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois<\/i> ambition to hold another independence referendum.<\/p>\n

Polo underscored the government\u2019s persistent budget deficit and the 66,800 jobs that the province shed in 2013.<\/p>\n

Though none of the candidates specifically mentioned the Parti qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois\u2019<\/i> proposed values charter, Charbonneau referred to it obliquely.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince the PQ government has been in place, it has chosen to focus on elements which divide the population,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Rousselle questioned Premier Pauline Marios\u2019 transparency and integrity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe official opposition adopted a motion in which the premier and her husband were asked to testify at a corruption inquiry,\u201d Rousselle said.<\/p>\n

He reminding that motion called upon the couple to testify under oath before the Charbonneau Commission, March 10, to answer questions about wiretap evidence \u201crevealing a deal between her husband and then-Fonds de solidarit\u00e9 <\/i>president Michel Arseneault:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe election call killed this obligation and allowed them to avoid testifying,\u201d he protested. \u201cThis is the same party which promised integrity and transparency.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ouellette suggested that Marois\u2019 election call was an expedient which violated her government\u2019s own law to set fixed dates for provincial elections.<\/p>\n

Solving constituents\u2019 flood-zones woes and public transit will be a priority in Fabre riding, Ouimet promised.<\/p>\n

The news conference coincided with pleas by the head of oncology at the Jewish General Hospital for the provincial government to relent on its plan to regionalize cancer treatment, starting April 1.<\/p>\n

Ouellette responded that patients ought to be able to continue to seek treatment wherever they wish in Quebec.<\/p>\n
