The riding was a Liberal stronghold for years until the CAQ's Joëlle Boutin snagged the seat in a byelection in 2019. Now, five candidates are vying to take her place.
Following an analysis of the health of Quebec City's Saint Brigid's Home by the CIUSSS de la Capitale-Nationale, the building and its systems were graded an E, and the anglophone community is pushing to get it refurbished.
The Coalition Avenir Québec government has announced that a byelection will be held to replace MNA Joëlle Boutin, who stepped down on July 19, saying politics and family life were incompatible.
Boutin said she will be leaving politics after considering the personal and professional sacrifices she made as an elected official. She said she has accepted a position in the private sector that will start in August.
