On Tuesday, the President of the National Assembly decided that if you wanted to take part in parliamentary work, you really had to swear allegiance to the head of state of Canada, King Charles III.

Swearing by the king is pointless and archaic. That has no place in our democracy. The President of the Assembly’s decision is very disappointing, but it is clear and unchallengeable. To finally correct this injustice, we must pass a lawwe read in the press release.

Solidarity declare that they don’t Confidence in the two federalist parties [la Coalition avenir Québec et le Parti libéral du Québec, NDLR] to end this practice.

” We will take charge, enter the Blue Room and make sure no one else has to take that humiliating oath. »

Mr. Nadeau-Dubois is committed to working with the Parti Québécois solve the current impasse.

And even if the CAQ intends to present a bill for the voluntary taking of the oath, QS intends to do so at the earliest opportunity.

If you want to change the rules of the game, you can’t trust others; You have to do it yourselfcontinued the Quebec Solidaire co-spokesman.

Mr Nadeau-Dubois thinks so tooIt’s much easier to put pressure on the government by having your feet in the Blue Room than standing in the hallway.

Quebec Solidaire parliamentary leader Alexandre Leduc also spoke to his CAQ counterpart Simon Jolin-Barrette on Wednesday to ensure things move faster.

However, there is no guarantee that the Legault government will hasten the passage of an Oath of the King bill, whether from its own ranks or from the opposition benches.
