What impact will Minister Lionel Carmant's resignation have on the CAQ? Journalists Catherine Lévesque, parliamentary correspondent for the National Post, Joël-Denis Bellavance of La Presse, and Christopher Nardi, parliamentary journalist for the National Post, analyze this blow to the CAQ. We are less than a week away from the federal budget, which is expected to include investments of more than $300 billion in national defense over the next 20 years in order to meet Canada's commitments to NATO. Marc-André Cossette welcomes Jason Jacques, Acting Parliamentary Budget Officer, who questions the government's ability to spend these funds effectively. Thirty years ago to the day, one of the most emotionally charged moments in the political history of Quebec and Canada took place. Nearly five million Quebecers voted to decide the future of Quebec. In the end, just 54,000 votes made the difference. The campaign was feverish. The evening was incredibly tense. And the result left a lasting mark on the country's collective memory. To discuss this, I am joined by Marc Laurendeau, professor and journalist, who, along with his partner Anne-Marie Dussault, has just launched the third season of their podcast “Pour l'avoir vécu”, a season devoted to the 1995 referendum.
