Quebec Businesses Brace for Uncertainty After Legault’s Resignation

                             François Legault's tenure draws praise, anger across Quebec — and relief he's going.

François Legault’s unexpected resignation has sent ripples through Quebec’s political and economic landscape, arriving at a moment when many businesses were already navigating a challenging environment. Although he will remain in office until his party selects a new leader, his decision marks a turning point for the Coalition Avenir Québec and raises questions about the province’s direction heading into the 2026 election.

Legault’s departure follows months of declining support and internal pressure, creating a leadership vacuum at a time when companies are seeking stability. Business owners across the province are weighing how potential policy shifts could affect labour regulations, investment incentives, and ongoing economic initiatives.

Reactions from the business community have been mixed. Some credit Legault with fostering economic growth and stability during his tenure, while others hope new leadership will bring a more collaborative approach, particularly in sectors that have felt strained by recent government decisions.

As political parties prepare to redefine their platforms and court voters, Quebec’s business sector enters a period of watchful waiting. The next several months will shape not only the province’s political future but also the economic climate in which companies must operate.
