CAQ Leader Christine Fréchette expresses regret as Quebec election campaign ends

MONTREAL — Coalition Avenir Québec Leader Christine Fréchette expressed some regret as she made her final appeal to voters in the provincial election campaign.

At a campaign stop in Shawinigan, Fréchette said she should have spent more time warning about the consequences of a referendum on sovereignty promised by Parti Québécois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon.

Fréchette warned that St-Pierre Plamondon’s plans could create economic uncertainty, almost immediately after the election if the PQ forms a government, as expected.

She reiterated that she wants to remain the leader of her party regardless of the outcome of Monday’s vote.
