Quebec premier to shuffle cabinet next week, prorogue provincial legislature

QUÉBEC - Mired in scandal and dismal polling numbers, Quebec Premier François Legault will shuffle his cabinet next week and prorogue the provincial legislature until the end of the month.

In a statement Thursday, his office said the shuffle signals that Legault is following through on a promise to make changes. "This will be an opportunity to give new momentum to the government team and make room for new ideas to advance the government's priorities," the premier's office said.
