Thank you for resigning from your position as Quebec Education Minister and giving up politics Monday. Your decision makes the Quebec government just a little bit less corrupt, and, perhaps, just a little bit less incompetent. Best of luck to your replacement, Michelle Courchesne, herself a former Quebec Education Minister, from

Well, isn’t it ironic that while you have stated that you won’t sit at the same table with the student organization La CLASSE because the latter supposedly does not respect the values of your Quebec Liberal government, you did, in fact, sit at a table of 15 to 20 people,
