At a press conference in Montreal, Mme Rizqy notably praised the seriousness of Mr. Rodriguez, a former federal minister in the Trudeau government, and his “flamboyant” side that “inspires people”.
She also thanked Mr. Rodriguez for bringing back the ex-liberal deputy who has become independent Marie-Claude Nichols “Au Bercail”.

The PLQ will eliminate its new chef on June 14 at the end of a congress which will take place in Quebec. By then, four other debates are planned in Gatineau, Quebec, Trois-Rivières and Rivière-du-Loup.
The ex-CEO of the Federation of Chambers of Commerce Charles Millard, the former president of the Council of the employers and ex-deputy Karl Blackburn, the lawyer Marc Bélanger and the farmer Mario Roy are also in the ranks.
