Jean Charest defends by-election candidate Clément Gignac
``I had a full discussion with Mr. Gignac on the economy and what we're defending,'' Charest said, noting Gignac told Le Devoir he will defend ``the position of the Quebec Liberal Party, the position of the Quebec government.''
Quebec Premier Jean Charest is meeting his cabinet Wednesday morning and is then widely expected to call a provincial election for Dec. 8.
