QUÉBEC — Quebec Premier François Legault shuffled his cabinet Thursday, with Christine Frechette inheriting the economy, innovation and energy portfolios as the province's newest"superminister."
Known as Legault's"superminister" because of the important role he played in cabinet and his influence on the direction of the economy, Fitzgibbon resigned on Wednesday, citing a lack of motivation to do the job after six years in office. "I will quickly get to work," Frechette said."I will arrive prepared to welcome the groups on the topic of this very important bill."
Earlier Thursday, Legault spoke to reporters, who had many questions about the future of the provincially owned utility — Hydro-Québec — and about who will end up paying for investments topping $150 billion over the next decade that are expected to double its capacity. Frechette will also take on the role of minister responsible for the Montreal region, which Fitzgibbon also held.
