Quebec Liberal Leader Pablo Rodriguez is calling on doctors considering leaving the province to hold off for a year. He promises to engage in negotiations with them, contingent on a Liberal victory in the upcoming election. Recent polling indicates that the Liberals are narrowing the gap with the Parti Québécois, raising hopes for a potential comeback.

However, questions remain about Rodriguez's visibility and strategy. Critics are asking why he is not more frequently in the public eye. There is a demand for clear, actionable plans on how a Liberal government would address pressing health-care issues. These include reducing emergency room wait times and increasing the number of family practitioners.

As a former federal cabinet minister, Rodriguez is expected to understand the importance of maintaining a strong public presence. Observers are curious if he recognizes the need to solidify his image in the minds of voters. Some are drawing comparisons to Mark Carney, who successfully revitalized a party facing declining support just months before a federal election in April. The effectiveness of Rodriguez's approach in the lead-up to the election remains to be seen, as the political landscape continues to evolve.
