Harper sought Mulroney's advice on wooing Quebec
Secret meeting with former prime minister held in Montreal last week
The potential for a national unity crisis to emerge out of the next Quebec provincial election has prompted Prime Minister Stephen Harper to do something he has refused to do for years: Meet with former prime minister Brian Mulroney.
Stephen Harper held a secret meeting in a Montreal hotel with Mulroney last week, The Canadian Press has learned, to seek advice on forming a better relationship with Quebec.
He sought similar advice that same day from Liberal Premier Jean Charest, government sources said.
The meetings came ahead of a planned Conservative rally in Quebec this weekend where the prime minister is going to try again to restart the stalled Tory machine in the province.
