Alex Boissonneault, a former member of the National Assembly and a representative of the Parti Québécois, has recently been appointed as the communications director and spokesperson for the Quebec government under Premier Paul St-Pierre Plamondon. This role marks a notable shift for Boissonneault, who was previously defeated in the electoral race for the Arthabaska riding during the elections held on October 5.

In his first interview since his appointment, Boissonneault highlighted the importance of maintaining respect for Quebec's identity, particularly in the context of discourse surrounding the use of the English language at public forums, such as summits.
