QUEBEC — Premier François Legault will unveil the new Quebec cabinet today during a ceremony at the national assembly.
After winning 90 of the legislature's 125 seats in the Oct. 3 provincial election, Legault has no shortage of members to chose from.
In 2018, Legault announced a 26-member cabinet and achieved gender parity for about three months before a cabinet shuffle.
Legault told reporters after his re-election that his new cabinet will be composed of between 40 and 60 per cent women.
The only person Legault has said has a lock on a cabinet position is Christian Dubé in the health portfolio that he previously held.
The premier and his fellow Coalition Avenir Québec members were sworn in on Tuesday.
