In an interview with LCN, Mr. Leclerc argues that the prime minister needs to show his team can push ahead with months of stalled talks before talks intensified in recent days.
“It is important for Mr. Legault and his team to demonstrate that progress has been made, that progress has been made and that an agreement can be reached with the unions,” he said.
