Former NDP MP Boulerice officially exits Parliament to run in Quebec election
After 15 years representing the NDP, Alexandre Boulerice steps down from his federal seat to pursue a provincial role with Quebec solidaire.
- On Tuesday, longtime Quebec MP Alexandre Boulerice officially resigned his Montreal seat in Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie to run in the provincial election scheduled for Oct. 5.
- Boulerice served in the House of Commons for 15 years, notably as the last remaining member from the 2011 "orange wave" that propelled the NDP to official opposition status in Quebec.
- During his tenure as deputy leader under Jagmeet Singh, Boulerice said he achieved "very concrete gains," such as dental care for Quebecers and anti-replacement worker legislation.
- NDP Leader Avi Lewis has already begun campaigning in the riding, which was the only seat the party held east of Manitoba, to retain the constituency.
- Byelections are scheduled for Aug. 31 in Toronto, North Vancouver, and Quebec, with additional contests expected over coming months to fill vacancies including Boulerice's seat.
