Quebec – MPs Marwah Rizqy and Greg Kelley rose, on Monday, behind the leader of the race for the Chiefdom of the Liberal Party of Quebec (PLQ), Pablo Rodriguez, which now has 10 supports within the Caucus.
At a press conference in Montreal, Ms. Rizqy notably praised the seriousness of Mr. Rodriguez, an ex-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”.
Ms. Nichols, who had been expelled from the Liberal Caucus following a dispute with the Dominique Anglade head, announced last Friday that it would return to the party if Pablo Rodriguez was elected chief.
-“Pablo, for me, is the man of the situation,” said Marwah Rizqy.
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.
