MONTREAL - Jean Charest left himself open to potshots from his rivals Sunday over luxurious Lexus automobiles -- executive perks for the premier and his wife -- that were pre-ordered before the end of the election campaign.
Parti Quebecois Leader Pauline Marois and Action democratique du Quebec Leader Mario Dumont both accused the Liberal leader of arrogance and disrespect for assuming he would be re-elected.
Marois compared Charest to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, noting both leaders called an election because they thought they could form a majority government.
She says both will finish up where they belong: in opposition.
Dumont also accused Charest of wanting a majority government simply so he could give contracts to his friends and make partisan nominations.
Quebecers go to the polls on Dec. 8.
