Christine Fréchette

Quebec is facing a bully.

Quebecers’ money must put Quebecers to work and that there are only two choices when faced with a bully: bow down or stand tall.

Bombardier is a source of pride for Quebec, a flagship of our economy, and a major player in our aerospace industry.

“We’re in an economic war with our main trading partner, and for the other parties, it’s as though it were a minor news story,” she said.

“Yesterday, he gathered his supporters. Not once did he use the word referendum,” she said. “That’s hiding things from Quebecers.”

We want to protect workers and businesses across Quebec, and we must not let these retaliatory tariffs add to the pressure.

I’m asking for a mandate to move forward through a storm.

My name is Christine Fréchette — and it’ll stay that way.

We live in an increasingly uncertain world. But for me, if there’s one thing I’m certain of, it’s that now is the time to come together, to join forces, and to work together. We must not let ourselves become divided.

My opponent is named Donald Trump. He’s the real adversary.

I think people can figure out which side Mark Carney's on. At least in terms of who he doesn't want to win, I don't think he needs to say that.

Our culture, our language is central to our identity and it is important to exclude that from the negotiation table.

We are now analyzing the answers he gave me because we need to have a global view, a complete view of the impact on Quebec's economy, and we will decide afterwards what our position is.

The company’s savoir faire when it comes to hydroelectricity has always been a huge source of pride for Quebecers.

The American administration has once again chosen confrontation. The new tariffs apply to our companies and small and medium businesses in all regions of Quebec. They will have a direct impact on our economy and quebecois workers.

I don’t have sufficient information to see if it’s a good thing or not.

I’m here to protect businesses, workers, and supply management needs to be maintained, cultural exceptions need to be maintained.

I don't have sufficient information in order to decide if it's a good agreement or not.

What a great day it is for Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador.

This is what's in that agreement. It's 23,000 jobs for both Newfoundland and Quebec.

I see the Parti-Quebecois is interested in tearing up this agreement. They don’t want to implement it. OK, so what do they offer to Quebecers if it's not this agreement? Where will they find the 10,000 megawatts we are bringing to Quebec…

I say, ‘Fine, tear it up.’ But what are you proposing? What are you offering to Quebecers? How will you provide 10,000 additional megawatts?

There are some lines that can’t be crossed. Supply management is part of that, and protection of our culture and language. Those are essential to preserve.

I would be open to allowing U.S. wines back on the shelves if there are gains on the trade front.

For us, it is essential to preserve supply management; we have made this a red line that must not be crossed.
