Fréchette Meets Carney: Quebec's Push for Federal Wins

0:00Quebec's brand-new premiere, Christine Frachette, is heading to Ottawa this Friday morning for a sit-down with Prime Minister Mark Karney, just under 48 hours after she got sworn in. Her team says she's thrilled. Karney squeezed her in on such short notice and they're diving right into big talks on economic growth, immigration, infrastructure, housing, and tackling the rise and cost of living. With a provincial election less than six months away, Frachette wants to prove her nationalist approach can pull real wins from the federal side. Quebec's pushing hard for a fair spread of asylum seekers across Canada to ease the pressure on the province. They're also asking Ottawa to step in and seal a huge hydroelectric deal with Newfoundland and Labrador, setting the stage for some serious. Cross-country collaboration moving forward.
