On Tuesday, representatives from several cultural associations welcomed Marc Miller’s appointment as federal minister of Canadian Identity and Culture in an article published by Radio-Canada.
This stung St-Pierre Plamondon, who declared on social media: “The intellectual vacuity and sycophancy of a substantial part of Quebec’s cultural community are frankly embarrassing. I am ashamed.”
At a news briefing at the National Assembly on Wednesday, the PQ leader defended himself by saying he felt “really hurt by the behaviour of certain people.”
After all, Miller, a former immigration minister in the Trudeau government, is one of the “architects of our linguistic decline,” he said.
“With that track record, can we really say to Marc Miller, ‘We’re so happy to be working with you, what a great minister and all that.’ There are limits to being disloyal to Quebec (…) by ignoring all the damage that has been done,” railed St-Pierre Plamondon.
“At some point, we have the right to expect (…) spokespersons for Quebec’s cultural community to be loyal to Quebec and the French-speaking world.”
Among the groups that welcomed Miller’s appointment were the Société des auteurs de radio, télévision et cinéma (SARTEC), the Association québécoise de la production médiatique (AQPM) and the Association nationale des éditeurs de livres (ANEL).
