MONTREAL - The last of the head-to-head TV debates in the
Quebec election campaign will be held tonight and will feature an intriguing showdown between two former Parti Quebecois cabinet colleagues.
PQ Leader
Pauline Marois and Francois Legault, head of the Coalition for Quebec's Future, will complete the trifecta of one-on-one debates that followed the multi-leader confrontation on the weekend.
The Marois-Legault encounter will have some extra spice because of their past.
Marois was expected to make a run for the PQ leadership in 2001, but backed out after being abandoned by none other than Legault, who threw his support behind
Bernard Landry.
The previous head-to-head debates this week saw Marois duelling with Liberal Leader
Jean Charest on Monday, and Charest duking it out with Legault on Tuesday.
Quebecers go to the polls on Sept. 4.
One of the more interesting aspects of the Marois-Legault debate will be the exchange they have on sovereignty referendums.
