MONTREAL A Quebec Liberal hasadmitted for the rst time that the three-month student strike that has upended theprovince could lead to an election callsooner rather than later.

e comments Tuesday by outspoken junior transport minister Norman MacMil-lan came hours after Premier Jean Charestgot personally involved in talks for the rsttime.

MacMillan, speaking prior to a caucusmeeting in Quebec City, said discussionsbetween Charest, the education ministerand the heads of four student groups havemajor political implications.

Its not me who decides the electiondate, its Jean Charest, said Macmillan.

But if the crisis (is not resolved), I think (an election) could be one of the solutions.

If they (students) do not want to negoti-ate, what will we do? Are we going to let(this) go?

e strike over tuition fees has led to window-smashing rampages, bridge androad blockades and violent clashesbetween protesters and riot police.
