Yes, there's a chance she'll make the connection. It's within the minimum connection time. However, a delay on the flight from YQB will likely cause her to misconnect, especially since she'll probably have to go from Terminal A to C. Delays in the late afternoon at EWR in winter are common.

If there's a weather waiver in effect for her date of travel, she'll be able to change to an earlier flight from YQB at no cost. Otherwise, you'll likely have to pay a change fee to switch flights. If the plane is delayed leaving YQB to the extent that the connection becomes impossible, the agents in YQB may consider rerouting her on AC via YUL if there are seats.
