Justice Minister Stephanie Vallee: Justice Minister Stephanie Vallee and Jean-Marc Fournier, who is responsible for Canadian intergovernmental affairs, hailed the decision as "historic" but said the new Liberal government is more interested in focusing on bread-and-butter issues, according to Times Colonist. "It is the economy. If you're asking whether it is 250,000 jobs or 24 Senate positions, it the 250,000 jobs." Senate reform is not an immediate priority for Quebec, two senior cabinet ministers said Friday in reaction to the Supreme Court ruling on the upper chamber. "The question is, 'what are your priorities?'" Fournier told a news conference in Quebec City. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
