Pauline Marois: Provincial Powers

Prime Minister Stephen Harper Dept: However, political insiders say while Marois is expected to push the prime minister for more provincial powers, Harper is unlikely to concede to the PQ s demands, according to CTV. Our government will remain focused on jobs, economic growth and sound management of the economy. We believe that economic issues and jobs are also the priorities of the people of Quebec and prime Minister Stephen Harper was quick to congratulate the Parti Quebecois and its leader Pauline Marois on winning a minority government on Tuesday. We do not believe that Quebecers wish to revisit the old constitutional battles of the past, said Harper in a statement issued shortly after the PQ s were named the victor in Quebec s provincial election.
