The leader of the race for the chiefdom of the Liberal Party of Quebec (PLQ), Pablo Rodriguez, inflates his supports from the Caucus. MEPs Marwah Rizqy and Gregory Kelley join his camp.
The former federal minister must make it the announcement on Monday morning in Montreal. Thanks to these two new size supports, Pablo Rodriguez now has ten liberal elected officials in its ranks. Support by deputies which is important, while several have criticized its past to him in Ottawa, in the government of Justin Trudeau.
The supports of the deputy of Saint-Laurent, parliamentary-star in the National Assembly, and his spouse, the deputy of Jacques-Cartier, are however not big surprises.
The other candidate for the management of the PLQ having several supporters within the Caucus is the businessman and former president of the Federation of Chambers of Commerce du Québec, Charles billion. It benefits from the support of five liberal elected officials.
The former president of the Council of the Employers of Quebec and ex-deputy of Roberval Karl Blackburn, the lawyer Marc Bélanger as well as the economist and farmer Beauceron Mario Roy are also in the ranks of the race for liberal leadership.
