In a short video sharing his New Year’s wishes, Mr Legault urged the public to be introspective.
“I also want us to realize that we are fortunate to live in a place like Quebec, a great territory, a safe place, a united people who help each other when things are difficult. This is Quebec and we should all be proud of that,” said the Prime Minister.
More broadly, Mr. Legault wished all Quebecers good health, “the grassroots” in his eyes. “It all starts with that: exercising, having good habits. We know it’s important.”
The prime minister also indirectly mentioned the labor crisis, which is affecting practically every sector of the economy and which has been on everyone’s lips for the past year.
“I wish the youngest every success in their studies. I know it’s a cliché, but we need you, young people, in many areas with a future,” he recalled.
In another register, the prime minister also affirmed that he had taken the pikes awarded to him during the year-end issuances with philosophy. A sketch of “Bye Bye”, which takes up the framework of the series “Indefensible”, staged in particular a François Legault who had to consult his lawyers in order to clumsily learn how to answer questions from journalists during the election campaign.
“I congratulate our craftsmen, who have worked hard again this year, on the evening of the year in review. It’s true, I’m often targeted for my job, but it’s justified. Thank you for keeping this beautiful Quebec tradition alive!” commented the main viewer.
