In a letter sent Monday to Jeannotte, the Parti Québécois (PQ) leader stated his incoming government will not allow a representative of the monarchy to preside over the event.

"We firmly intend to abolish this monarchy in Quebec, both within our democratic institutions and in our civil society," St-Pierre Plamondon wrote.

"We thank you in advance for the co-operation you will demonstrate to ensure that this important day for our democracy unfolds without hindrance and with respect for the will of the elected members of the National Assembly of Quebec," he added.

I welcome removing the weird vestigal stuff that exists from the forming of Canada. A bunch of do-nothing ceremonial positions as far as my understanding.

They aren't the biggest problems though... just a minor nuisance that I've heard is hugely annoying to fix. Lots of more important things to fight about that are easier to accomplish.
