The Legault government was among those affected during the evening during the last edition of “Bye Bye”, produced by Simon-Olivier Fecteau.
In a sketch filmed in the style of the series Plan B, Claude Legault took on the role of Prime Minister François Legault, who asks the agency to go back in time to change the route of the third connection, expand and implement the project more exciting, then shrink it, suggest the “two-tube”, break his word by inventing a reason, “flush” the tram and finally bring back the third connection.

The Minister of Education Bernard Drainville, played by Patrick Huard, was invited to give acting lessons to actors Rémy Girard, who asked him for advice on embodying depression, and Élise Guilbault, who played incoherence and contradiction. Mario Pelchat, singer, also expressed his disdain and his interpretation of the song “Toune d'Automne” by Cowboys Fringants in the middle of a press conference and incidentally asked him to cover one of his pieces.

And while the comedian Pierre-Yves Roy Desmarais was responsible for the musical opening of the annual review, the team of authors devised a number under the sign of the end of the world to mark the fiasco of the launch of the new website of the Société de l'Assurance Automobile du Québec (SAAQ) which became the biographical one Film Oppenheimer combined and renamed “SAAQenheimer”.
The good moves
The good moves of Bye Bye 2023 include the convincing interpretation of Sarah-Jeanne Labrosse as Marilou, who explains the concept of “WAH”, but also that of Pierre-Yves Roy Desmarais, unrecognizable as Jérémy Demay, and Louise Sigouin, who holds a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and former First Lady Sophie Grégoire.
