Quebec votes: Party leaders work to get the vote out on final campaign day

Last Updated Oct 2, 2022 at 10:00 am MDT

MONTREAL — Quebec’s major party leaders are making one final appeal to voters ahead of tomorrow’s provincial election.

Liberal Leader Dominique Anglade began her day defending the decision to spend her final weekend campaigning in remote regions of the province where her party is polling in third.

After spending time in Gaspé and Îles-de-la-Madeleine on Saturday, Anglade is heading today to the northern Quebec village of Kuujjuaq, where she’ll campaign alongside her candidate in the Ungava riding.

She told reporters this morning that she wants to show her party is a presence all across Quebec.

Quebec solidaire’s Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois will spend his day shoring up support in the Montreal area, while Coalition Avenir Québec Leader François Legault is visiting ridings in Montreal and Estrie.

Parti Québécois leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon will make his way from Gaspé to the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean region, while Conservative Leader Éric Duhaime will begin in Laval before heading to the Quebec City-area riding where he’s hoping to win a seat.
