Pontiac Liberal MNA André Fortin says he feels the support of Pontiac residents after Monday’s election in Quebec.
Fortin, who won over 61 percent of the votes, will represent the Pontiac electoral district in the Quebec National Assembly for a fourth consecutive term.
In a dramatic political comeback, the Parti Québécois has formed a minority government in Quebec, propelled at least partly by promises to hold another referendum on sovereignty.
Fortin says that is not the right thing for the Pontiac or the rest of the province.
He says his constituents have made it clear where they stand on the issue.
Fortin says looking forward to his next term in office, his number one priority is one he hears from his constituents time and time again – health care.
He says people in the Pontiac want better access to health care, they want to protect the Shawville Hospital and they want measures to retain and recruit more health care workers.
He says they’re also concerned about the local economy, one that is comprised mostly of small and medium-sized businesses, who have felt overlooked by the previous government.
Fortin has been the MNA for the Pontiac since 2014.
