Couillard pointed out Lesage did a lot for Quebec as the province entered the Quiet Revolution.

“It’s also education, social programs, the whole modern Quebec that we live in today is due to his efforts as leader of the government at the time,” he said.

Couillard added it took courage for Lesage to head into an election campaign on the issue of electricity and nationalization after only two years in office. 

A Hydro-Quebec spokesman says a bust of Levesque that is prominently displayed outside the building will remain.
