Prime Minister Stephen Harper: Province Of Quebec

Christian Paradis Dept: Christian Paradis, Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Quebec lieutenant, suggested the Conservatives would find common ground if the sovereigntist Parti Quebecois won the next provincial election, according to Winnipeg Free Press. "We can't always be in harmony with the province of Quebec, but I think what you need to do is identify our common interests and need to grow." ST.-NARCISSE-DE-BEAURIVAGE, Que. - The Conservative government tried Sunday to downplay concerns about its difficulties in Quebec, saying it has shared interests with the province and is prepared to work with whatever political party is in power. "No matter what government is elected, we're going to work with the Government of Quebec," said Paradis, who was joined by Harper at a gathering near Quebec City for the province's annual Fete nationale.
