“In recent years, confidential information about my private and my family has been the subject of several media leaks, he explained in a statement released Friday. These leaks are illegal and furthermore constitute an obstacle to justice. ”

Mr. Charest added that he proposed to the government to apologize publicly or to call a mediator to settle the conflict, without success.
