Carney holds firm on Quebec's role at the EU summit as the premier stays vague on attending
Carney refused Wednesday to reverse his decision, and urged Premier Paul St-Pierre Plamondon to accept two invitations: to welcome the EU leaders in Montreal and to sit at his table at the dinner.
“It’s never too late to do the right thing.”
— Quebec Premier Paul St-Pierre Plamondon
Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne said leaders are invited to join such summits, not to give speeches. The premier still has not said whether he will attend.
