Prime Minister Justin Trudeau congratulated Francois Legault on his party’s re-election in Quebec Monday, adding he looks forward to working together on “issues of importance to Quebecers and all Canadians.” “Together, we will make Quebec, which we are so proud of, an even better place to live,” the prime minister said in a statement. Congratulations, @FrancoisLegault . We’ve worked together for years now – to create good jobs, take climate action, and make life better for Quebecers – and I’m looking forward to building on that work and delivering even more results for people in Quebec. — Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) October 4, 2022 Story continues below advertisement Read more: François Legault’s Coalition Avenir Québec wins another majority government Read More François Legault’s Coalition Avenir Québec wins another majority government Global News and other media outlets declared Legault’s Coalition Avenir Québec would form a second majority government. Trudeau named climate change, the cost of living and labour shortages among the issues he looked forward to collaborating on with Legault. Yet the issues that dominated the campaign and Quebec’s relationship with Ottawa under Legault — immigration, French language protections and health-care funding — were not mentioned in the statement. Quebec and Ottawa saw a sometimes-tense relationship during Legault’s first term, with the two governments coming to blows over Quebec’s secularism and French-language protection laws. Both bills — Bill 21 and Bill 96, respectively — are before the courts in Quebec, but the federal Liberals have vowed to join a legal challenge of Bill 21 if it were to reach the Supreme Court of Canada. 2:41 Quebec election: Battle for second place as Legault leads polls Quebec election: Battle for second place as Legault leads polls Legault has also pushed Ottawa for increased health-care funding and more immigration powers, which have both been rejected by Trudeau.
