Quebec Premier Jean Charest announced he will prorogue the National Assembly to update the Liberals’ agenda. Charest said this is completely normal for a party in majority to do at this point in its mandate.
Charest’s Liberals were re-elected in December 2008 and do not have to call another election until December 2013.
The Parti Quebecois opposition says that Charest is using prorogation as a tactic to distract the people from his government’s shortcomings.
Last week, Charest replaced his chief of staff and shuffled his cabinet.
Charest said the National Assembly will be prorogued by the end of February.
