SAAQclic: Minister Geneviève Guilbault called to testify before Gallant Commission
Posted August 13, 2025 3:20 pm.
Quebec Transportation Minister Geneviève Guilbault could testify next week before the Gallant Commission, which is investigating the failed digital transition of the Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ).
The information was confirmed Wednesday by a government source not authorized to speak publicly.
The commission into the management of the SAAQ’s IT modernization, including the SAAQclic platform, will resume its public hearings Monday, Aug. 18, after an eight-week summer break.
The hearings will be held in Montreal over the next three weeks – former ministers, current ministers, and cabinet staff will be called to testify.
In addition to Guilbault, her predecessor at the Ministry of Transport, François Bonnardel, now Minister of Public Security, is expected to be heard as well.
Those who held the Transportation portfolio under Philippe Couillard’s Liberal government, Laurent Lessard and André Fortin, are also expected to testify.
In the spring, former PQ and Liberal ministers Sylvain Gaudreault and Robert Poëti testified before the commission chaired by Judge Denis Gallant.
