A look at newly acclaimed Quebec Liberal Leader Charles Milliard
Charles Milliard was acclaimed leader amid a crisis involving alleged vote-buying in the 2025 leadership race, with no other candidate accepted by the Quebec Liberal Party.
- On Friday, Charles Milliard was acclaimed as leader of the Quebec Liberal Party, replacing Pablo Rodriguez who resigned in December after six months in the role.
- After Rodriguez's resignation, media reports alleged that about 20 donors received $500K envelopes, but a judge said he could not corroborate the claims while the anti‑corruption unit investigates.
- Charles Milliard has a largely non-political résumé, earning pharmacy and economics degrees from Université Laval, management and an MBA from HEC Montréal, and leading the federation of chambers of commerce of Quebec from 2020–2024.
- Without a legislative seat, Charles Milliard faces an early test to build recognition and a team while Marc Tanguay leads as parliamentary leader, with the provincial election set for Oct. 5.
- With polls showing the PQ ahead, Milliard must raise his profile and recruit the right team as the CAQ also seeks a new leader after last month's announcement, experts say.
