Quebec Separatist Government Picks Marceau as Finance Minister
The Parti Québécois appointed Éric Marceau as Finance Minister and Minister responsible for infrastructure, aiming to prioritize infrastructure renovation. Premier Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, leading a minority government formed on October 5, plans a referendum on Quebec's independence after Donald Trump's second term ends in January 2029, despite low voter support. Governing will require cooperation with opposition parties.
