In its text, the CAQ answered its own question, stating that according to the majority of the population and most analysts another team could not have done better. The text caused a lot of reaction, in particular because it was written alongside the commemoration of the 10,500 deaths, according to the Parti Quebecois (PQ). PQ leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon criticized the CAQ s arrogance, given that Quebec has half of the victims of COVID-19 in Canada, while it represents 23 per cent of its population.
