“Until the government recognizes systemic racism, the case will not be solved. We invite the various political parties to re-read Joyce’s Principle [Echaquan]. This is how we can talk about reconciliation and healing. There is still a long way to go “, insists Manawan leader Sipi Flamand.
In the eyes of his group, the outgoing premier “conveys an image that for him the tragic death of Joyce Echaquan is a thing of the past and that now everything is perfect”. “As long as the government covers reality with a party line, similar events are likely to repeat themselves and complaints will continue to be reported to us,” the Atikamekw Nation is indignant.
On Thursday, during an exchange on systemic racism with Dominique Anglade, the head of the CAQ stated that “the problem that happened with Mmyself Joyce [Echaquan] at the Joliette hospital, he is now settled ”.
The Grand Leader of the Atikamekw Nation, Constant Awashish, said he understood François Legault’s “impression” of “having solved the problem by having made some decisions and taken some actions”.
“We recognize these few gestures that show a certain level of will, but the problem remains and it is imperative to resolve it in a lasting way. It begins by acknowledging the existence of systemic racism, by embracing the Joyce Principle as written, ”he explained.
The family denies Legalult’s words
Joyce Echaquan’s family said they were “stunned” on Thursday when François Legault claimed to have met the deceased’s wife, Carol Dubé. According to the family, Mr. Legalult claims “falsely” that she had argued with him and that she would have confirmed that the problem had been solved. In fact, Mr. Dubé and the outgoing Prime Minister met “by chance” during Pope Francis’ visit to Quebec this summer.
“It is regrettable that the Prime Minister is allowing himself to put words in the mouth of Mr Dubé for purely electoral purposes. “, Reads a note sent by the family lawyer, Mr.And Patrick Martin-Menard. “His way of dealing with the problem and washing his hands with magical thinking reflects an old mentality and reproduces the dynamics at the origin of the problems that led to Mr.myself Echaquan in the first place », one adds.

For the head of the Assembly of the First Nations of Quebec and Labrador (AFNQL), Ghislain Picard, it is a pity that François Legault can “afford such deviations with almost blind confidence”.
“Yes, actions have been taken and decisions have been made, but has the situation really changed? I have not seen anything that shows me that we are facing a turnaround in the situation. And that’s what it took, ”she explains in an interview. “It is a government that walks in joy. We want to trivialize a situation ”, he still regrets.
“You are not Joliette’s Premier”
“Go to the Joliette hospital. First, all employees received training. We have integrated into the management people who come from Aboriginal communities. The situation has completely changed [depuis la mort de Joyce Echaquan] “Said Mr. Legault during the leaders’ debate on Thursday.
His remarks struck the parliamentary leader of Québec Solidire, Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois. “It is not true that the problem experienced by Joyce Echaquan is solved. You are not Premier of Joliette, you are Premier of Quebec “, she retorted.
In Mr. Legault’s office, we pleaded on Friday that we had “pledged to continue fighting racism in Quebec.” “Mr. Legault took as an example the changes made to the Joliette hospital following the tragic death of Joyce Echaquan. What happened on the pitch, to Joliette, is very encouraging and promising, “reiterated the press officer, Ewan Sauves.
After Joyce Echaquan’s tragic death in September 2020, the Legault government specifically created a position of assistant to the CEO of CISSS de Lanaudière “directly assigned to indigenous relations”. The Minister of Health, Christian Dubé, has also arranged compulsory training for all staff of the health and social services network on Aboriginal realities.
