Rumour has it that Quebec premier Jean Charest is soon to call a public inquiry into charges of extensive fraud in Quebec’s construction sector. He asked his caucus to come for an early meeting Tuesday morning. Such meetings generally take place at noon.
According to TVA’s political analyst, former federal politician Jean Lapierre, the caucus is looking forward to thrash out a potential inquiry into corruption charges.
Regardless of the calls from the opposition and unions, Charest stays firm that public inquiry is not the solution, upholding that an investigation could impede police inquest into corruption and conspiracy.
Étienne Boulrice, a former advisor to a Liberal MNA said: “Misdeeds in the construction sector inflate the cost of projects and create economic uncertainty among foreign investors, who fear costs will run out of control. Our economy suffers, our democracy suffers, the generations who built and those who want to build Quebec suffer.”
Earlier this month, the premier agreed with the voices demanding an inquiry, alleging he would reflect on the proposal from the head of Quebec’s anti-collusion squad, Jacques Duchesneau, that an investigation be held.
According to Duchesneau, an investigation was vital, but he recommended a closed-door business instead of a panel of judges. Duchesneau’s observations came after his report alleging the corruption industry was ubiquitous with secretive deals.
