Liberal Opposition Calls for Resignation of Three CAQ Ministers in Response to SAAQclic Scandal

Éric Caire, who held the position of Quebec's Minister in charge of Cybersecurity and Digital Technology, resigned following criticism of his involvement in the SAAQclic project, which incurred significant cost overruns amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars as highlighted in the auditor general's report. Premier François Legault confirmed Caire's resignation, noting that it had become a source of distraction for the government. Marc Tanguay, the interim leader of the Quebec Liberal Party, accused Caire of misconduct and urged his resignation, fueling further controversy. In response, Caire defended his actions, asserting that he had been transparent about the budget issues and chose to step down in the interest of the government.
