Christine Fréchette is Quebec’s new premier.
Fréchette won the Coalition Avenir Québec leadership race yesterday, taking over the governing party only months before the next election.
Fréchette replaces François Legault, who announced his intention to step down in January.
She focused her campaign on growing the Quebec economy and helping residents deal with the rising cost of living.
