Quebec's Economy Minister Pierre Fitzgibbon resigns, prompting cabinet reshuffle and by-election.

Pierre Fitzgibbon, Quebec's Economy Minister and influential member of the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ), has resigned, citing a loss of motivation. His departure was expedited by Premier François Legault to prevent distractions ahead of the fall legislative session. Fitzgibbon's resignation necessitates a cabinet reshuffle and a by-election in his riding, as the opposition Parti Québécois gains momentum. Fitzgibbon's exit leaves the CAQ without a key leader on economic issues.
