Quebec’s premier seeking younger image for party ahead of next shuffle
QUEBEC — One of Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard’s main challenges as he prepares for his next cabinet shuffle will be to give his greying party a more youthful air.
Couillard, who is said to be contemplating a shuffle in the coming days, leads a team that is more golden-aged than school-aged.
According to data compiled by The Canadian Press, more than a third of his cabinet ministers are over the age of 60, and over half are 55-plus.
Only five of 26 cabinet ministers, or 19 per cent, are under the age of 50.
