Canada News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Bélanger Leaves CAQ, Fréchette's First Cabinet Shake-Up. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
Big news from Quebec politics, former Minister of Cybersecurity and Digital Affairs, Gilles Belanguer, just ditched the coalition-avenier Quebec to sit as, an independent in the legislature. He got booted from cabinet this Tuesday by the party's new leader, Christine Fersched, who took over after winning the leadership race. Belanger was actually one of Fersched's first big backers during that leadership push, making his exit all the more surprising. Now, Treasury Board President France, Elaine Dernso, steps in to handle cybersecurity and digital affairs, keeping things moving for the CAQ. This shake-up highlights the fresh tensions under Fersched's watch, and will keep tracking how it plays out in the National Assembly. From your city, powered by AI, this is Canada News Today. I'm Corey, with the story.
