Premier Paul St‑Pierre Plamondon instructed the newly appointed Minister of Education, Joël Arseneau, to arrange a general assembly on education that could be held at the beginning of 2027.

The move comes after a two‑year campaign by the Confédération des syndicats du Québec (CSQ) seeking such an assembly, and follows the premier’s decision to appoint Arseneau to the education portfolio, securing provincial support for the initiative.
