Another Quebec politician is raising eyebrows with a trip abroad, despite the government urging everyone to stay home over the holidays. Coalition Avenir Québec MNA Youri Chassin says he left for Peru, despite the pandemic, to be with his spouse who lives there and whom he hadn't seen for nearly a year. Chassin, the MNA for Saint-Jérôme, says he was granted permission to travel by the office of Premier François Legault in the week of Nov. 30. Chassin said he's been involved since March 2019 in a sponsorship process to have his spouse immigrate to Quebec. According to the party, Chassin is the only MNA to have received permission to travel.
