Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke with Quebec premier-designate Paul St-Pierre Plamondon after the Parti Québécois won a minority mandate in the provincial election.

What happened

Prime Minister Mark Carney had a conversation with Quebec premier-designate Paul St-Pierre Plamondon following the election. They discussed infrastructure funding and support for Quebec workers affected by the U.S. trade war. Carney considers this a "crucial time" for the country.

Why it matters

The conversation between Carney and St-Pierre Plamondon is significant because it involves the leaders of Canada's federal and Quebec provincial governments discussing key issues. The timing is notable as St-Pierre Plamondon stated he will not have an independence referendum while U.S. President Donald Trump is in office. The conversation focuses on the present, rather than long-term plans.

Key facts

  • Quebec's Parti Québécois won 59 seats in the election.
  • The party did not win a majority, five seats shy of the needed 64.
  • The Coalition Avenir Québec lost all seats in the election.
