All eyes in the Couillard cabinet are on new Transportation Minister Laurent Lessard.
The third transportation minister this year, following Jacques Daoust and Robert Poeti, met with Poeti on Wednesday morning prior to the cabinet meeting.
On his way to the meeting Lessard said he was happy to meet with someone who has held the post before.
"I will listen to what he has to say. He is an excellent colleague and I have always worked well with him, and he extended his hand to work on this collaboration as soon as I was named [minister]," said Lessard.
Daoust resigned on Friday following an ongoing controversy over the sale of Rona to the American hardware giant Lowe's, and a debate over whether or not he knew of the takeover offer.
Part of Lessard's job will be to eliminated corruption in the Transportation Ministry after Poeti raised a red flag about allegations of mismanagement and intimidation.
Lessard said he wants to look at what can be improved, and how they better practices can be put in place.
Meanwhile Lessard said he will also examine the Highway Safety Code to see what changes can be made to improve road safety for cyclists.
Earlier this week a 24-year-old woman was killed at an intersection in Montreal.
Since she was going straight she had the right of way, but police refused to say that the driver of a truck making a righthand turn was responsible.
Last year in Montreal 721 injuries involving cyclists were reported to police, with 40 of them being serious or fatal.
Meanwhile Lessard is also going to address Uber.
Bill 100 comes into effect next month, and it was amended by the government at the last moment to allow the creation of a separate category of permits for drivers.
