Former Parti Québécois cabinet minister François Legault officially launched his centre-right political party Monday in Quebec City.
At a news conference, Legault dubbed his new party Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ), and focused on the need for change.
Legault is promising Quebecers to work towards less bureaucracy, more personal wealth, and avoiding constitutional wars with the rest of Canada.
"Let's act together for change," Legault told reporters, saying he will call on people on both sides of the constitutional debate to join his party.
The former PQ minister says Quebecers are not interested in a referendum right now, and so sovereignty would be on the backburner if he were to form the next government.
