Three quotes from our interview
About the return of his former colleague Bernard Drainville to politics
“When he said to me: 'I'll come back, I'll run for CAQ', I said: 'Are you sure?' It seems to me that life is not so bad when you do what you do. In the summer, we are quiet. You walk around the malls, go door to door “But at the same time there are those who get bitten. It's like hockey coaches who always want to come back.”
About his offer Secret chat
“Your colleague from… Journalism [Hugo Dumas] I made a list: You should invite so-and-so. We've thought about everyone on our list, but people don't want it. Marcel Aubot said no, Guy Cloutier said no. […] Anyone with a story deserves to be interviewed, so it's a matter of figuring out how to do it, and it's not a free ride. I actually declined interviews because I wasn't comfortable with the person or because they wanted to put obstacles in my way. »
On his reputation as a ruthless interviewer
“I remember [qu’à l’époque de l’émission Arcand à TVA]We had the idea to welcome Liz Dion and Yvonne Deschamps. Liz Dionne said to my team, “But I didn't do anything wrong, so why should I go on his show?” […] People always think we have one approach, but I wouldn't interview a crime victim in the same way a politician would ask me to elect them to manage public money. The tone varies. »
