The regional councils of Charlevoix-Est and Charlevoix have opted against commissioning a study that would analyze the future of the Charlevoix region within the context of the Capitale-Nationale. The decision comes after a petition was submitted by advocates who sought to explore the potential benefits and challenges of such a study. Instead of pursuing constitutional discussions, the councils are placing their trust in assurances from the new Premier of Quebec, who has pledged to grant Charlevoix special status. This special status is seen as a possible means to enhance the region's economic and social development without delving into complex constitutional issues. The councils believe that focusing on political solutions will yield more immediate benefits for the community.
