Vermont and Quebec have an important relationship in the region, but it exists in the larger context of U.S.-Canada relations. As those ties become increasingly complicated, we're talking with Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard about border issues, refugees, U.S.-Canada relations and more.

Couillard has been the Premier of Quebec province since 2014, and he's also the leader of the Quebec Liberal Party. Trained as a neurosurgeon, he entered politics in 2003 when he was elected to represent a Montreal-area seat in the province's governing body, the National Assembly. During his time in government he’s also worked as the province’s Minister of Health and Social Services.

Broadcast live on Monday, July 16, 2018 at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
