Former Liberal MP Denis Coderre spoke next and said that he d undertake to channel the passions of the city's youth, which were expressed during the student disruptions of 2012. He also said the he would value the contributions of those with experience as well, making an indirect reference to the preponderance of former Union Montreal representatives running for his party and Four of Montreal's top mayoral candidates slugged it out in their first debate of the campaign Friday night at the Institute for the Nouveau Monde. Marcel Cote - an economist who is supported by Louise Harel and Marvin Rotrand, among others - introduced himself by explaining that he was persuaded to enter municipal politics after being scandalized by a series of embarrassing infrastructure disasters that exposed the city as being poorly administered.
