Christine Fréchette: “I accept Quebecers’ decision and take responsibility for the results.”

“As premier, I am proud to have initiated a genuine transformation of Quebec’s economy — a transformation that is essential in the current context,” she said.

“Last night, you made your position clear,” she said in French. “You chose to entrust the government to another team. I accept that choice, and as leader, I take responsibility for it.”

“My opponent is Donald Trump; he is the real opponent,’’ said Fréchette on Aug. 27, in Quebec City, adding, “I’m asking for a mandate to move forward through a storm.”

Systematically taking refuge either in the Yes or in the No is too limiting.
