I had to be at the downtown campus for 8:30 and left there at 9:15 to get back to the main campus for a 10:00 am – 12:00 pm meeting. Then I scarfed down some lunch so I could squeeze in a 20 minute walk before heading off to a 1:30pm meeting. That lasted till 2:15; then back to my office for a few minutes before heading to the Legislative Building for a protocol briefing for all Consular Corps officers and reception with the Premier at 5:30pm.
There were some ministers also present and a surprise visitor – Former Quebec Premier Jean Charest.
