Quebec’s premier has replaced his cybersecurity and digital technology minister after a scandal with the auto insurance board’s online platform forced the resignation of Éric Caire.

Premier François Legault today named backbencher Gilles Bélanger as Caire’s replacement, after an explosive report last week revealed cost overruns of at least $500 million in the creation of the online platform.
