In fury to learn that at least 25 political games took place with the boss of computer science Karl Malenfant before the chaotic deployment of Saaqclic, opposition parties denounce a “serious negligence” and ask for the resignation of the Ministers Geneviève Guilbault and François Bonnardel.
“It is impossible that the Legault government was not aware of this major cost exceeding. At best, it is serious and gross negligence, at worst, sorry, but it’s a cover-up, “said PLQ parliamentary chief Marwah Rizqy.
“François Legault has been trying for a few days to understand why there is a disconnection with Quebecers. It is not a ministerial reshuffle that Quebecers want, it is accountability. ”
His colleague Monsef Derraji adds that “the population deserves ministers who assume their responsibilities, not excuses prepared afterwards.”
Our parliamentary office revealed Friday that ministers, subminists and political employees of the Legault government have met more than 25 times Karl Malenfant, the architect of the Saaqclic project, before its catastrophic deployment. The ex-boss of IT at SAAQ maintains that, contrary to allegations, “no financial information has been hidden from decision-makers”.
Progress, strategic decisions, technical incidents: everything has been addressed, indicate documents obtained via the information law.
Until the chaotic launch of the platform, the exchanges were frequent.
The resignation of the ministers claimed
According to the auditor general, the project will exceed one billion, or $ 500 million more than expected.
After the October 2022 election, the new Minister of Transport, Geneviève Guilbault, met Malenfant three times before the catastrophic launch of the platform.
For his part, Minister François Bonnardel has always argued that he was “deceived” when he was at the head of the ministry.
“You cannot reconcile such disturbing facts with the statements that have been made so far by ministers Guilbault, Bonnardel, Cairo and Company,” said PQ Joël Arseneau.
Spring Solidarity Ruba Ghazal believes that heads should drive to the government.
“The Prime Minister is reviewing who must be the ministers. Me, I think that the two ministers, Mr. Bonnardel and Mrs. Guilbault, can no longer remain in office in the current state of things, “she said.
