Couillard not interested in TV debate with Lisee on sovereignty
Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard has turned down a request for a televised debate on sovereignty and federalism with Parti Quebecois Leader Jean-Francois Lisee.
Couillard says he prefers to discuss jobs and the economy.
Lisee used question period in the national assembly on Wednesday to ask for the debate.
On his way later to a cabinet meeting, Couillard said he’s not interested in discussing sovereignty with his political foe.
