National Assembly can take place as planned on Feb. 2 and elected officials will be invited to appear in person at the Salon Bleu amid the coronavirus pandemic.The Canadian Press learned Thursday that Dr.
Horacio Arruda, director of Quebec public health, has given the green light to MNAs to head physically back to work.Arruda, therefore, bowed to the arguments of the province’s three opposition parties, which insisted that part of the parliamentary work should continue in a physical format.
The goal is to allow exchanges between MNAs, most notably for question period and the study of potential laws.The Legault government had advocated for a completely virtual return to the provincial legislature.
